Iran's quest for The Bomb

From The Guardian:

The Iranian government has been successfully scouring Europe for the sophisticated equipment needed to develop a nuclear bomb, according to the latest western intelligence assessment of the country's weapons programmes.

Scientists in Tehran are also shopping for parts for a ballistic missile capable of reaching Europe, with "import requests and acquisitions... registered almost daily", the report seen by the Guardian concludes.

  • I don't support the proliferation of nuclear weapons but if I was one of Iran's power-holders I'd want a few nukes for sure. Look how well it's been working for North Korea in terms of being a negotiating chip for aid and keeping US military intervention at bay.

  • Aren't the Chinese giving them technology (I think that was in the Cox report). Iran will have nukes; it's not if but when.
