Iran wants to stall for time...

I felt that the production of 37 tons of yellowcake is evidence, too.

BREAKING NEWS:
IAF pilots have completed their mission training and fighter jets have been prepared for an Israeli attack on Iran, the British Sunday Times reported today.

In addition to the fighter-jets ready to go on this mission,
two missile submarines were on standby: one in the Persian Gulf and the second in Haifa Bay.

Yep and I thought your other post was also evidence - sorry if my reply wasn't clear on that point.

Whew! Thanks for clarifying! Here I was thinking I'd have to buy an airplane ticket and have a talk with you in person.



Just kidding, of course.

Part of the staring wars no doubt.

Hard to intimidate a mad man mind you!

I'm not sure that co-author of the Sunday Times article, Uzi Mahnaimi, has the best of track records on these things. Among other stories he broke was the one about Israel developing a biological 'ethnobomb' that would target Arabs only.

Need to act quickly

The window of opportunity is open right now. Either Israel makes their moves right away, or the Natanz facility will be operational, making it much more difficult to bomb (right now, there is no radioactive material at the site).

As the condition of Ariel Sharon further deteriorates, and the full leadership power has been assigned to Ehud Olmert, it seems that the information contained in the Sunday TIMES article is fully accurate, and I have no problem with believing it. It makes perfect sense, under the circumstances.

Also, from another website that has a dubious track-record:
DEBKAfile’s Iranian sources reveal:

• Thousands of P2 and P1 type centrifuges, developed under cover of the two-year purported suspension, can go into action free of international curbs. The IAEA statement said uranium hexafluoride, a uranium gas - can be fed into cascades of centrifuges to produce low-level nuclear fuel or weapons-grade material. This can happen within a week or two.
