IAEA says team denied access to suspected sites!

[Camera]

Not only did they not know about them but the IAEA said they would have been very interested in having the chance to talk with them about the site. As I said most governments have a very good idea about who is working at these sites better then the IAEA because the IAEA is just an inspection and monitoring agency of the UN and does not have a network of informants and contacts like single interested government can use to gather Intel.

Sure. All the Western intelligence agencies are working on this issue.

Makes sense.

By not allowing inspectors to enter sites ,the Ayatollahs give one more reason to bomb their country.

At this moment I am convienced that will happen soon but hopefully it will be limited to bombing the sites and not the country.

A limited attack is not enough...

It should also make some nations standing idly by.....think that maybe they ought to take part in and enforce sanctions.

Sanctions might keep the Iranian program in the light of day. Not forgotten. Could make a difference...


And when we bomb......I'd hit that Parchin site so friggin' hard they wouldn't find any pieces.

Why not? If the ability for the country to cause huge casualties is taken away why not?

Also the military and the regime should be destroyed...I'm not saying that the U.S should occupy Iran. I think that you can do it only with planes and cruise missiles(if not to overthrow the regime,at least to cause a serious damage).

BS. The IAEA made a statement she didn't reveal the identities of the scientists to anyone, and her inspectors never met with some of those that were killed.
Iran works in this military site on the warhead of its nuclear military program. It's a classic deceptive tactic that was used also by Iraq and is/was used by Syria.



It's an UN Agency and her reports are submitted to the UNSC.

But no nukes were found in those countries!!!

Lets start slow. Just have drones casually pop chaff pods over quite a few power plants (or power distribution hubs).

No body dies. We lose a cheap drone or two.... and they spend a week trying to get the power back on.

We'll call it 'negotiating'.

I agree with MUSHROOM123, a limited attack on their facilities only is not enough because Iran will throw everything it has (ground troops, tanks, fighters etc) at Israel once the first bomb lands on its soil, which would call for further air strikes. Now there's always the chance bombing their sites would scare them ****less and make them get their act together, let them know the West means business.

Only problem there is now a limited amount of time before Iran moves to move their nuclear program to hardened sites esp with the centrifuge enrichment program... any attack will likely take place before Iran starts transferring the centrifuges to the underground sites that have recently been build..

Its likely that after Iran has ensured that their centrifuges are protected from being taken out in a single strike that they will move from passive warhead research that they went to after the first explosive tests.

I put passive research as just research and study on the fields without conducting more active testing since the first rounds they did. Once they have secured their enrichment program so that its harder to take out they will get back into the active testing of explosives and triggers once they get that down they will move to quickly push through the weapon grade enrichment..

.........and that is where the problem is.

[ISNJH]

And how will Iran get its tanks and troops to Israel? they dont share a land boarder and most countries in the region are just as upset and worried about Iran's nuclear program and are not likely to allow Iran to just sent troops and tanks through their country.

[MUSHROOM123]

.........and that is where the problem is.

Do you want the Ayatollahs to remain in power? If yes-you will not change anything because they will rebuild the program.
