1. Iran has had many golden opportunities
Devorah   (04.08.12)
to publicly make the biggest jackasses out of the West, Israel and the IAEA by simply throwing all of its doors open for inspection. But Iran won't open all its doors for inspection because it has something to hide.
2. WOWSERS! Now THATS a shocker.
Gideon Reader   (04.08.12)
Who could have forseen that act? Why, I am completely floored. Convential wisdom (like impacted wisdon teeth?) indicates that Iran and it's political leadership would be forthcoming and "rational" in its discussions and plans with the West. Just think. Billions and Trillions spent on Intelligence services. of the Techint, Elint, imageing, overflights and throughly brilliant and inspired Humint have indicated Iran's charm offensive and warmth towards the west. Now comes this stunner. Please help. My sarcasm generator is stuck in the maximum detent and only your generous contributions can help.
3. No chance
Farouk Mansour ,   Qom, Iran   (04.08.12)
No chance to close Fordow, its a legal site under NPT treaty for enriching Uranium. Iran will insist on its full legal rights under the NPT which is ability to enrich Uranium to 20 percent for Medical & Research purpose. Also no inspection of military sites will be allowed. We will never bow down to arrogant Western powers that want to dictate illegal terms & conditions.
4. And another up Obama
Hans Seedow   (04.08.12)
And another one up Obama's by the Iranians ! His ears are growing larger than the Easter bunny. ha ha ha ha

Stephen in New York   (04.08.12)
illusions about Iran keeping its agreements. There's that inconvenient thing called Taqqiya.
6. Iran rejects West's 'demands' before talks
Adam ,   London   (04.08.12)
The way this is going they will probably declare on Friday they have nuclear weapons capability. They have made fools of the whole world. They need such a massive kicking but the West cannot stomach the Iranian cells bombs going off in their cities around the planet.
7. What a surprise
Rachel ,   Center Israel   (04.08.12)
Every intelligent person knows that the Iranian leadership, government and religious leaders are developing nuclear weapons.

9. yes, you will bow
alsky ,   toronto   (04.08.12)
and then disappear like the other Islamofascists.
10. #8 How brave you are...while sitting in Canada...
ZionistBecky ,   Israel   (04.08.12)
YOU won't have to be bombarded with missiles from our neighbors after Iran is attacked, now will you? I even doubt we have the ability TO attack Iran. Our planes aren't up to Western standards, and if we can't guilt/bribe one of Iran's neighbors to let us use their bases, we're basically out of luck. By ourselves, we couldn't put Iran's nuclear program back more than a few months. In the past we've had great success getting others to do our dirty work for us. Right now we're trying to get the US and Obama to take on Iran. Unfortunately, he's not as big a tool as Bush was, and he's not buying into our "hold us back" argument. Perhaps Canada will help us? Why not write a letter to the editor of one of your Canadian newspapers arguing that you must bomb Iran for Israel's sake? Be sure to post us a link when the letter gets published. I look forward to reading it. After all, you don't want to look like some coward who doesn't put their money where their mouth is, do you?
11. Destory iran or let iran nuke Israel, pick one.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.08.12)
12. Dont depend on America
Yaron   (04.08.12)
America never came to help during WWII despite knowing millions of Jews were being exterminated., they only entered the war when Japan attacked them. America talked peace when Saddam was building Osirak reactor, but after Israel did the hard work, was able to invade & take over Iraq easily. America is 10,000 miles from Iran, Israel is next door. America is more worried about their economy, Israel their survival. Israel - do what has to be done....before its too late.....Attack NOW !
13. The Time Has Come To The persian arabs
(04.08.12)
in their place. Is the p5 +1 that Ignorant to think the persian arabs would budge 1mm? This whole situation was brought upon iran by their Own Statements and their Own actions. They have Stalled,balked and all the time moving yet closer to obtaining nuclear weapons since day one. Why would west believe Anything the the little bearded monkey says? What has the mooslums done in good faith? Have the mooslums in iran Stated the want to wipe Israel off the Global map? Have the mooslums in iran said Israel is not wanted in a arab middle east? Has Israel been in the middle east before the Murder, pedophile who went to a cave and came out with a so-called book he called the koran? What religion condones lies,supressing human rights,advocate murder, forced conversion, has No tolerance or Respect to Any Other Religion? How does this so-called religion of peace Tolerate division and hatred for followers of the same faith? Goodness can't be Divided, but evil is always divided out of shear chaos, immoral self promotion! ברוך הא שם
14. Perhaps Iran wants to be attacked?
Robert ,   USA   (04.08.12)
With the many opportunities Iran has had to gracefully and quietly back off of their path toward nuclear weaponry, perhaps they now prefer to be attacked by Israel? Sometimes it seems that way to me. Being attacked by Israel would give Iran credibility among those who want to destroy Israel, and perhaps encourage Iranian dissidents to rally around Iran's challenged leadership. However, and as usual, Iran, like Israel's enemies in the past are likely underestimating Israel's power, and a successful attack on Iran by Israel could embarrass and destabilize their leadership, leading to a real change in Iran's nuclear ambitions for many, many years to come. Iran's military "might" is overrated by the world in general, and greatly overrated by Iran in particular. In Michael Oren's book on the 6 Day War, he quotes an Egyptian general as saying, "They [Israel] prepared for war, and we prepared for parades."
15. Horse is out of the barn
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.08.12)
16. Response to#11
John R ,   NYC USA   (04.08.12)
By all means Bunnie lets nuke 73 million Iranians today. Israel doesn't need the US help because Israel has 200 nuclear warheads of their own according to Jane's Military capability assessment (the same number as China) I can't understand why the Israeli Gov't isn't listing to someone with your obvious foreign policy incite. Please continue to offer your unusually intelligent comments.
17. The only thing that ticks me off is that
Israeli 2   (04.08.12)
the Americans and Europeans give the Iranian regime too much credit, respect and credence. Furthermore, leftist in Israel are too cowardly and as usual siding with the enemies. Thank goodness Israel knows WHEN to strike regardless.
18. Farouk Mansour
eric ,   nyc   (04.08.12)
I pray you are right.if Iran would bow down it would mean they would not be taught a military lesson...I hope the mullahs continue building.The cancer known as Iran will be defeated and humiliated.
19. Start polishing the small tactical nukes for use on Fordow.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.08.12)
20. # 10 CONGRATULATIONS
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (04.08.12)
WE HAD HANOI JANE IN NAM NOW YOU HAVE TAKEN HER PLACE FOR IRAN YOUR NEW INTERNET NAME WILL BE TEHRAN BECKY. SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT.
21. Bomb Iran now !
Castor Troy ,   Los Angeles-USA   (04.08.12)
Every delay in the destruction of the iranian criminal nuclear program is a precious time wasted.
22. Maybe now...
PaulZion ,   Israel   (04.08.12)
The West will be more convinced that only the military option has any chance of success.
23. Farouk, no.3, these "arrogant" Western
No Iranian atomic ,   weapons!!!   (04.08.12)
powers simply want to stop the non-arrogant killer Iranian mullahs and politicians from using atom bombs in the very near future. And so they will do ! Be sure about it.
24. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.08.12)
Iran's rejection of the West "demands" provides further clear proof, as if it was needed, that Obama is completely wrong and that sanctions and talks will never work. Obama is wrong about everything. What else is new? Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
25. # 16
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.08.12)
I'd rather listen to Bunnie anytime than to you!!
26. whats the difference between Syria & Iran?
zionist forever   (04.08.12)
Other than the fact they both hate Israel, both support terrorism and the presidents of both countries names end with a D? Both Assad & Ahmadinejad make promises they don't have any intention on keeping to get the world off their backs for a little while so they can continue with whatever they are doing without fear from anybody. We have been playing this game with Iran for years now. 1) Iran works on developing nuclear weapons. 2) World tells Iran must stop so lets have negotiations. 3) World offers Iran lots of incentives to stop the nuclear program. 4) Iran says we will never stop 5) World says ok sanctions time 6) Iran says no rush we want to talk some more and so we go through the whole process over and over because the world doesn't want to use military action. In Syria all the world does is tell Assad he is being a naughty boy and must stop Assad agrees to phoney deals he has no intention on keeping and we keep going on that way all because the world has no intention on using military action to stop him. America & the rest of the western world more and more are coming to be seen as paper tigers by the likes of Iran & Syria because they want to be world policemen & have the tools to do it but won't use them so everybody ignores them.
27. To #3

28. iran
spookey ,   birmingham uk   (04.08.12)

29. THE NORMAL TREND
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (04.08.12)
Which always coincides with any meeting arranged with Iran.Unreasonable and unjustifies demands are made prior to these meetings to make Iran come weaker at the meeting.Nothing is going to be closed as it is operating for civil use and you are the ones who have not proved its use other than for civilian use. If anything is to be believed,it now looks certain that Iran is being asked to abondon the Nuclear programme in its entirety.This,I am afraid,will never happen.
30. WHEN WILL THE MESSIAH BE TO END THESE STUPID FIGHTING?
