1. 3 years ago it was this year 2010. who do we believe?
Like fish they ,   are on a hook   (04.14.10)
Iran will come, no question. But they will not succeed. nor will the poor little fool living in London...
2. Why not 7-10 years?
Eyal ,   USA   (04.14.10)
The world has gone bananas. They just don't want Israel to attack so soon.
3. CONGRATULATION ISRAEL ! FINALLY YOU FORCED IRAN TO HAVE IT .
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (04.14.10)
good slogan right :)
4. BELIEVE NO ONE..................................#1
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (04.14.10)
Because,having collected all the relevant datas from different sources,I have determined that the Iranians already possess few atomic bombs acquired from the old Soviet Union break-away states and have also acquired delivery system to be used in case of absolute neccessity.If that is not the case,then altogether,I have at my disposal 27 different articles with different dates of Iranians possibly acquiring Nuclear weapons.there is a limit to which we,as readers,can tolerate.Every announcement,if you note carefully,is designed for political reasons,to either make it look as though they are nearer to acquiring an atomic bomb or to please few dignitaries it is made to look that the Iranians are several years away from acquiring one.Don't you think it is a stupid statement to announce that the Iranians are going to have enough enriched uranium to make a single bomb???What stupidity it is,really.Are we to understand that the Iranians are going to produce one bomb and start threatening other countries????Somewhere along the line,you will sense the state of desperation and total lack of intelligence on Iran.These statement,once again,are more to do with political stance which keep on changing from time to time.May be,you will have further comments to make on the issue.
5. WHEN YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE....#1
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (04.14.10)
Believe what you think.No one has any problem,whoever you are:)
6. disinformation
ben Ish   (04.14.10)
#1 is correct, a few years ago, the time frame was "within a few years." They have reasons for saying what they say, and you can bet it has nothing to do with accurate disclosure. Much of the IAEA reports are public, and not too difficult to find. I post updates on TB's on a regular basis. If you do the research, the resources can be found. I will do a more thorough review later this month, but for now, here is a recap: No later than July of this year, Iran will have accumulated enough LEU to produce one Uranium bomb. They may have enough already, I predicted as early January of this year, and with the recent statement by Iran, seems likely they have enough this month. Well within the range I predicted. What remains is to reprocess the LEU into HEU, and then construct the device. If they choose to be discreet, then it will be 2014-2015 before completion. However if they remove safeguards, they can repipe in a few weeks, spin up to capacity, and have enough HEU within three months. Allow one month for construction, and Iran has a bomb by August of this year.
7. Iranian nukes
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.14.10)
Are Islamic nukes halal?
8. #4 is right. How could you tell they don't have it already?
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (04.14.10)
I have also read some reports on the net and elsewhere stating that there is a high suspicion on iran obtaining soviet era nukes. I don't know about israel,but I would not gamble on this to find out if its true or not. I believe there is much going on behind the scenes and we know only what we are supposed to know(which is basically nothing). PS: I also read an article on Jerusalem post from one of mossad's retired people (don't remember the guy who I'm talking about ,but I can sure as hell find and send the link for those who are interested) and him saying that iran already has the bomb. The article is a bit old. Like from 2005 or 2006.
9. Iran will have to test nuke design
Agent 007.5 ,   USA   (04.14.10)
Iran will eventually have to test its nuclear bomb if it gets (or is allowed to) get that far. And for all the world to see.
10. #7 Are jewish nukes Kosher?
Mark ,   Netherlands   (04.14.10)
11. #9 Agent 007.5, USA
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.14.10)
Not if they bought them on the black market or if they are using a proven design they got from their Muslim brethren.
12. #11 Then I suppose the early nukes israel obtained were ..
Mark ,   Netherlands   (04.14.10)
Proven designs from france and the US. Right? cause they have not tested any yet.
13. #10 ARE JEWISH NUKES KOSHER?
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (04.14.10)
YES .
14. Iran
Rick ,   Chicago   (04.14.10)
That what Mizrakhani who is very close to Obama senior aid says (short version): After Iran will drop the bomb on Tel Aviv, the US will wrestle Iran from Russian influence and good Shia will come to power in Iran. But first things first, he concludes his article.
15. #10 Mark, Netherlands
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.14.10)
Israel does not want to transform the world into a genuine Jewish society.
16. #13 No they are not. Thats something the world will force
Mark ,   Netherlands   (04.15.10)
You to realize,one way or the other. And quite frankly, I'm pleased by the job performance of the man in the White House. Things are going the direction they should have went long ago. Stay tuned for more. Its gonna be a rough ride ahead!!!!
17. #14 Lets imagine for one minute what would happen if..
Mark ,   Netherlands   (04.15.10)
A party such as the one they have in israel,named Shas,would get to power. Or even worse,lets imagine for a second,those nasty settlers getting their hands on them nukes. Now we all know the racist nature of those people and how they would provoke others,right? We all know how jews see non-jews,right? Not going to be a pleasant scenario after all. A nuclear armed israel is just as bad as a nuclear armed iran(and please don't give me the lecture about you being responsible about your nukes and all). The problem with israel is not about the regimes in the region. Its about the fact that it wants to remain the only country with nukes in the mideast. Which is something people refuse to accept and in time the number of countries obtaining these weapons would exceed from what we already have. You can bomb one,bomb2,but can you go to war with the entire middle east?? PS: The world would simply not fall for your nonsense. Others have brains too,you know. The iraq war was the best example to all of this and look were it has got us.
18. #9 Uranium bomb
ben Ish   (04.15.10)
Fission, or Uranium bombs do not need to be tested. Fusion, or Hydrogen bombs do. Iran has uranium and uranium production facilities, they do not have plutonium production. An Iranian bomb will be a uranium powered fission device, and it does NOT need testing.
