Not a Tom Clancy novel or the screenplay for a new James Bond film, but the Telegraph.

This sounds similar to the Americans sharing their nuclear and missile technologies with the Israelis and the Brits.

Hopefully Iran can limit itself to a couple of underground tests, and won't try to beat the American record of 1000+, or engage in the extensive atmospheric testing the French and Russians have done.

That being said, this article is part of a larger campaign of propaganda intended to demonize Iran and legitimize its destruction in coming months.

I take it that everyone does realise that the second Iran even looks close to completing a nuclear weapons test, the US, Israel and quite probably the UK will flatten the entire country.

...and whilst I dont particularly like the politics favoured by Telegraph readers, it is still a fairly reputable paper.

We wont flatten, we'll impose such sanctions that the country will never recover untill they submit to International will.

The only way we'll flatten is if they attack first.

lol, come on, you cant believe that. If Iran even hints that they might be nearly ready to test a weapon the West will attack with incredible force.

Reactive strikes aren't an option when it comes to nuclear weapons, you have to pre-empt it, especially when that country is within striking distance of one of its greatest enemies. The last thing you want is a nuclear holocaust in the middle east.

I said elsewhere, we'll support peoples in Iran that will fight their government, but we ourselves will not fight unless Iran makes an all out hostile attack towards us or our allies.

Hold up, I'm confused. You would be happy to sit back and mouth off to the UN until Iran nuked Tel Aviv, and then attack?

That has to go down as one of the worst strategies I have ever heard. I hope I have misunderstood.

Reread what I said and consider what that means.

We're fighting a war on a number of fronts, we will not start another unless we have absolute good cause.

I think the possibility of a nuclear strike on your closest ally would qualify as 'good cause'.

Failing to act decisively would be a mistake of catastrophic proportions that the region is unlikely to ever recover from.


...how odd is it that we find ourselves on the opposite side of the argument to normal. You are calling for restraint and I am calling for Dresden MkII

They do not even have any armament yet, if they did, other measures would be taken fist, if they launched there'd be no Iran left on the face of this planet, but first we'll work with insurgencies in their homeland to disrupt plans, impose sanctions to cut off medicine, food, supplies so that it disrupts things worse and makes their position more difficult, SO will move in and work magic, but an all out war? Not yet.

oh no, not yet, I'm talking about if Iran suddenly begins making plans for a full on nuclear test. North Korea got away with it because they did it quietly, but Iran is too unstable a country at the moment to be allowed to possess that capability.

The world is ending the world is ending!!!!!!!!!



I don't say don't attack them, but do it differently than all out aggression at this point, we'll disrupt them enough that it will be very difficult to build a weapon and anyone else that aids them

I don't think bombing of specific targets will be out of the question at all.

Given Iranian reaction to the current sanctions I'm not at all sure they'll have any effect on Iran's compliance... witness Saddam Hussein's behaviour for 12 years.

So really it's a question of whether the UN has the balls to authorize militarily enforcing its resolution, or indeed, whether such action could get past those members who might be inclined to veto it.
