1. IT IS ALMOST TOO LATE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.07.11)
Iranian nuclear ambitions could have and should have been nipped in the bud .
2. Iran and nuclear weapon
miki n ,   Israel   (11.07.11)
The international community will continue to rigmarole on Iran's nuclear capability until it gets to a level when nothing could be done about. "Nuclear Iran will be destabilizing"-Bush
3. The Usefull Idiots of the West !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.07.11)
Nevertheless, the Washington Post reported that US officials fear an exaggerated reponse to the report as the US feels it has sufficient time to convince Tehran to change its behavior. Comment - Will those Idiots never learn or understand ? Neither do they understand Islams Resolve, nor Irans resolve, dont they understand that Iran enduring a Decade of sanctions will not back down ?. Chambelaining Fools !. Those who has the Capacity and Power but dont use it, but wait untill the last moment, are the biggest dangers because they yield leverage to the evil forces. Arn.Sweden.
4. Nothing to worry about
Robert ,   Australia   (11.07.11)
Given Israel's opinion of the UN it's evidently nothing to worry about.
5. The muslum crazy man said he would "Wipe Israel off the map.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.07.11)
He said it more than once. If that is not reason enough to strike a blow that turns iran into the stone age, then what will you tell the irradiated Jews who lie dying of an iranian nuke? We waited for the Americans to give permission? We listened to Ron Paul? We didn't want to kill too many iranians? We didn't want to anger the UN? We didn't think he would really do it?
6. Has Ahmadinejad any self respect left?
Tim ,   Brighton   (11.07.11)
How low will he go? How much credibility has he left with the Iranian people? If its fanning the flames of hatred between Shia and Sunni, promoting another holocaust, denying the last one, coming up with warped conspiracy theories for 9/11 and 7/11, lecturing Arab States on democracy - hes there like a running sore!
7. :'It's Now or Never' ...The' King 'is not here !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (11.07.11)
8. "Never again" means N-E-V-E-R A-G-A-I-N!
Devorah   (11.07.11)
9. The Reality
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (11.07.11)
Detonating a nuclear device, essentially anywhere in Israel, will result in radioactive contamination to our neighbors to the east. Think of the prevailing winds. A detonation in Tel Aviv, will contaminate Islamic sites in Jerusalem and further east. So, maybe calmer heads will prevail. On the other hand, the "dirty bomb" is probably more of a threat. The Iranians give radioactive material, to one of their proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah) and they deliver it here in Tel Aviv. The result would be equally catastrophic. In the end, the Iranians don't even need to build a bomb, the materials are just as bad.
10. to 9
Red John ,   USA   (11.07.11)
You analysis is about rationality, but the shiite clergy runing iran are not. Despite the fact taht they despise as much arabs and jews, may I recall you that the "moderate" Rafsanjani told once in the 80's that if Israel is hit by a nuclear biomb it will mean the end of Israel, even if iran will loose half of its population ! you are talking about a man, ahmadinejad, who hear "voices" It is not like in the cold war. The only languge they understand is power.
11. The sanctions FAILED COMPLETELY !!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.07.11)
ONLY FORCE will make the difference...!!!!
12. THE NEXT ARTICLE WILL READ
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.07.11)
That the Iranians already have a bomb.I mean,there is a limit to fool the world with these press rhetoric.Foe the last three years,I have personally counted 93 statements regarding the Iranian getting a Nuclear bomb within...........(the years differ,of course). Let us bring an end to this drama being played by known sources.The intellectual class in Western countries are the ones who should be ridiculing their heads of state for this drams. Iran does NOT need a Nuclear bomb.Why are you forcing them to have one with constant threats?
13. Wake-up... it is too late!
Nicola ,   Cape Town   (11.07.11)
The majority of talk backs call for action now, many even call for the use of Israel's nuclear deterent, but honestly, if we are to beleive that Iran has mastered some of the 'critical steps' and as we already know that they possess sufficient quantities of enriched uranium for a couple of bombs at the very least, then what is the point of bombing their nuclear infrastructure? It won't prevent anything, in fact just make it worse. Realistically, the only hope Israel now has is for regime change in Iran and that can certainly not be accomplished by a military strike. Wake-up... IT IS ALREADT TOO LATE! In my opinion, it's time for Israel to come out of the nuclear closset and start a cold war like campaign of M.A.D.
14. Everybody should know they have at least several bombs.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.07.11)
Old Soviet missing ones that were appearing on the Black Market and were readily purchasable.
15. Not a problem
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.07.11)
Iranian nuclear capability is a threat to American and Arab interests, but it is not a real threat to Israel. The Iranians could leverage their nukes to liberate Bahrain from Arab occupation or weaken Saudi Arabia, but that's about it. As long as Israel holds Judea and Samaria, an Iranian attack on Israel will be painful but no more than that. The worst is that Israel is ignoring the real existential threat: the Arab occupation of Gaza, Judea and Samaria. Even the most moderate Arabs (like Abbas) declare that they will use any territory and weapons they are given to destroy Israel and commit genocide. Can someone explain why Israeli leaders are willfully ignoring this threat?
16. IAEA said
ale ,   italia   (11.07.11)
"Report: IAEA to say Iran nearing nuclear capability" "Report IAEA to said Israel have illegals nuclear bombs" so iran cooperate with IAEA, and israel not. who is dangerous ?
17. Nuke Israel means nuke Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinians!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (11.07.11)
Bye by King Abdullah, Abu Mazen, Nasrallah and, of course, Salma! Syria will probably turn a nice shade of green too. Muslims don't respect life so there is no doubt that the lunatic in Theran would blink twice about killing millions of Arabs. Israel will no doubt bring down the Iranian missiles but the retaliatory strike against Iran will obliterate that country. Ahimininutjob better think it out again!
18. HE IS NEAR HELL< HIS END IS NEAR too
Dana   (11.07.11)
19. iran
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (11.07.11)
might already have the nukes intels are behind the reality iranians know that they have to hurry to get the bomb to stop any possible attack so i strongly belive that they worked day and night to achieve this they are probbaly have achieved more than any intel says and personally i think they have the right to have the bomb just like israel and usa you might not threathen to destroy other countries with it but the fact that u have the bombs makes any debate on the subject pointless, iran is just being honest i guess :)
20. Looks like we fast go
Igor ,   Israel, T"A   (11.07.11)
to the first (and last) nuclear war. Good news: we and Iranians have first-class tickets to this spectacle. Bad news the same.
21. Maybe they had nuclear weapons for many years
Edward Barosky ,   Bayonne Usa   (11.07.11)
I know many people here from Bulgaria and Turkey who strongly believe that Iran was given nuclear weapons by former Soviet Republics that are Islamic and possibly Pakistan. They strongly and firmly believe this. They believe they received them years ago. It might be nonsense but you never know for sure.
22. Less talk & more action
Ben ,   USA   (11.07.11)
Israel took out both Iraqi & Syrian nuclear sites in the past without a peep. What's going on here? Iran should have been dealt with by now.
23. Do our opinions influence and really matter ?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (11.07.11)
24. We are dealing with the sickest people on earth
tom driscoll ,   Union Grove   (11.07.11)
What do the good citizens of Iran think regarding the fact that they may be wiped out completely if Iran tries to kill thousands of people in Israel ?? Their lives are in maximum peril right now because of insane leaders. The world would be at peace today and our troops would all be home if a severe mental illness called Islam did not exist.
25. Iran is capable of destroying the world.
nibor ,   israel   (11.07.11)
That doesn't put them on an equal basis with any country. What have they contributed to the world in the last decade? Nobel peace prize winners? Literature? Discoveries? Computer technology? Theories in medicine? Medicine? So they can kill people en masse. So can a serial killer.
26. to #25
Igor ,   Israel, T"A   (11.07.11)
See, last decade they were very busy making the Bomb. Now they finished it and will turn to literature.
27. Don't worry, be happy.
Susi Goldstein ,   Israel   (11.07.11)
Do you honestly think the God of Israel will allow this maniac to destroy His land and His people? C'mon Folks. Just wait and watch how God will 'take care' of the Madman.
28. To 25 Lets be fair
John Gayle ,   Greensboro USA   (11.07.11)
Iran has made contributions. They are number one in the world in terrorism, murder, opression and insanity. They have the number one sickest Nation on this planet.
29. The little bearded monkey and his baba
(11.07.11)
are Hell Bent On Starting World War 3. For the west and europe Is Seeing The World Through Rose Colored Glasses? How Long Has The International Community Been TRYING DIPLOMATICALLY with iran? And iran Has Manipulated YOU like the mooslums They Are, I hope Soon Someone Will TAKE ACTION Against The MOST DANGEROUS Evil Entity in The New World Era! This Self Isolated Theocrocy OZZeS Evil From: Transporting Weapons Of Destruction To Terrorists, To Funding Terrorist Orginizations, Plotting To Kill Foreign Dignitaries on Foreign Soil, To Stealing Last Election, To Killing Their THOUSANDS Of Unarmed Cilivilans, To Sending Brutel Militias to Aid other Theocracies To Stay Proped up, All UNDER THE NOSE OF The international community, HYPOCRITES ALL OF YOU !!!!!!!!!!!! For Israel Must Do What Is Best For Hashem and His Covenants!!!
30. Enough
Ber ,   TA   (11.07.11)
One thing Iran does is project all it's evil intentions onto Israel. All the demonization of Israel is all in the muslim's heads. Demonization directed at Israel comes from them because it is inside of them. They are the demons. Enough is enough. Take them out before they go nuclear. True TA may or may not get battered, but there's nothing to do about that, Iran simply must be stopped.
