Breaking News: Iran nuclear deal 'tied to US election' - Al Jazeera

Analysts have said Iran will wait until after the US elections to respond to a European offer to avoid possible UN sanctions by indefinitely suspending uranium enrichment.

The analysts added the deal had no chance of success if the United States did not back the British-French-German offer, which includes non-nuclear items such as supporting Iran's joining the World Trade Organisation. more

Iran Moving Methodically Toward Nuclear Capability - LA Times

Iran has made steady progress toward producing nuclear fuel and could make significant quantities of enriched uranium in less than a year, according to new estimates by diplomats, scientists and intelligence officials.

Mastering enrichment will move Tehran a big step closer to being able to build an atomic bomb. Iran's progress already has intensified its confrontation with the United States and other countries that fear it is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Despite persistent suspicions, however, a report due next month by the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency is not expected to provide proof that Tehran has a weapons program, diplomats said. more

Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday that the the issue of Iran 's nuclear program needs to now be referred to the U.N. Security Council. In an interview with Abu Dhabi television, Powell said "it is time for the matter to be referred to the Security Council unless there is a complete change in attitude on the part of the Iranians, and they come into compliance with their obligation under IAEA strictures, and also in compliance with the commitments they made to the European Union." more

Bush to Iran: Put Up Your Nukes

Any qualified student of history would attest to the concept that foreign policy is an ongoing process of trial and error. Very often, what worked in the past is quite worth replicating. However, the failure of a given policy might not indicate that it should never be tried again. The conditions by which a strategy failed in the past either might not exist today, or have changed enough to make it more viable under current circumstances.

A good example of this precept is our present state of diplomacy – or, maybe, lack thereof – with Iran, and how we are allowing the failures of the past in North Korea to prevent us from effecting what could be a winning strategy today.

DoctorZin Note:

I appeared on John Batchelor's Show on WABC, tonight with other Iran bloggers: Roger L Simon and Dan Darling. We had a great time and have been invited back for more updates in the future. If you aren't familiar with his broadcast you listen to it over the internet week nights from 10PM to 1AM. He is very informed and runs an excellent, fast paced broadcast.

Iran given nuclear deadline

Senior diplomats from France, Britain and Germany will meet top Iranian officials in Vienna on Thursday to offer Tehran a final chance to halt uranium enrichment plans or face possible U.N. sanctions.

"What will be sought on Thursday will be discussions about Iran's compliance -- not with any conditions laid down by the three of us but by the (International Atomic Energy Agency) board of governors," said Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

Conflict with Iran is Inevitable.

We are now entering a very dangerous phase in our twenty-five year struggle with Iran.

Iran must stop President Bush from being reelected. They fear that President Bush will actively support a regime change in Iran in his second term. They must stop him.

A Kerry administration has already announced that it will seek a “thaw” in US/Iranian relations and will almost certainly follow down the path that President Jimmy Carter took which is a policy of appeasement. If they can succeed in ensuring the election of John Kerry as president, Iran is destined to be the super power in the Middle East and once a nuclear power, far more deadly.

I am hearing from multiple intelligence sources that Iran, Al Qaeda and their associates are planning a massive attack on the US or our troops before the November election.

Personally, I believe that Iraq or Afghanistan are more tempting targets for these terrorists since a massive and very deadly attack in Baghdad or other such sites could shift public opinion against the war in Iraq and towards John Kerry, while an attack on the US homeland will likely remind Americans that we are at war and thus need to re-elect President Bush.

But recent successes in Iraq are making their plans much more difficult to execute. I am hearing that Zarqawi has been severely weakened and that is why he has now pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda. He needs their help. This requires Iran who is protecting Al Qaeda leadership to be much more active in any such attack.

Whatever these terror masters are planning, it will be critical that the world understands who was behind these attacks, Al Qaeda and Iran. This is why the US is warning Iran not to support Zarqawi.

It also appears the US is increasing our attacks on Fallujah and elsewhere in Iraq in order to put the insurgents on the defensive and keep them from launching a successful coordinated offensive against us. Sadly I am hearing that the terrorists are confident that their attack will succeed. These terrorist are just awaiting the signal to execute their attack.

But since Iran is much more likely to be directly involved in the coming attack it puts them at greater risk of being exposed. Still, they are skilled at letting others take the responsibility for such attacks, just as they did with the bombings in Spain.

I also hear that Iran may not fear this exposure because they believe that the Islamic world will believe any evidence we bring forth to show Iran's involvement in the attack as just a US/CIA fabrication.

The next days or weeks are likely to prove crucial to our success in the war on terror.
