Iran Incapable of Building Nuclear Bomb — Russian Expert
Iran is not capable of building its own nuclear weapons, the former head of a nuclear power plant and current regional leader in southern Russia said Wednesday.

“In reality, the U.S. is provoking Iran, accusing it of aiming, along with the implementation of its peaceful nuclear programs, to create its own nuclear weapons,” Governor of the Saratov Region Pavel Ipatov was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying.

Ipatov, who was head the Balakovo power plant for almost 20 years, said that currently, in view of the methods in place for controlling the proliferation of nuclear weapons,
“Iran is in no state to create a nuclear bomb secretly.”

2. I found it weird that...
the IAEA said a month ago that Iran was 10 years away from developing nuclear weapons, and yesterday they were jumping on board saying that Iran should be refered to the UN security council. I smell a Bolton.

3. Let's attack Russia...
...because they obviously hate freedom.

We'll blow up Iran on the way to prove our commitment to non-violent, peaceful, democratic ideals.

Consider it a twofer...

4. Basic nukes are not all that hard to build
And Iran has the resources and talent to do it. Good/efficient nukes are another story.
