LONDON - Iran retains nuclear weapons ambitions and there is a "strong possibility" that it could be in a position to quickly make a nuclear bomb by 2015, British lawmakers said in a report released today.
By 2015?!?
Then why is ding-dong acting like they got one on the launch pad?
Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee said United Nations sanctions were unlikely to persuade Iran to halt work that could be aimed at building nuclear weapons and said a military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities also was unlikely to work.
Yeah, "could," not IS!!!!
It urged Britain to press Washington to talk to Tehran directly about its nuclear program, which Iran says is solely to generate power but which Washington alleges is aimed at building nuclear weapons.
What, no Israeli allegations?
Like it's all on Washington, 'eh, Zionist press?
"Based on the evidence we have received and our own visit to Iran, we believe its nuclear ambitions remain," said Mike Gapes, chairman of the committee that has held hearings with officials and scientists, and visited Iran last November.
HowTF would you bozos know?
You "think" they are building a weapon.
What are you basing this one, jerko?
Pffffffttttt!!!
Technological constraints were likely to prevent Iran developing a nuclear weapon, if that was its goal, in the near future, the committee's report said.
But Gapes, a member of the ruling Labor Party, said: "There is a strong possibility that it could establish a 'breakout' nuclear weapons capability by 2015." A breakout capability means "the ability to manufacture a nuclear device within a short period of time by virtue of its nonmilitary nuclear technical capabilities and assets," the report said....
I'm really TIRED of the SCARE TACTICS, especially when Israel is so BELLIGERENT and is ARMED to the HILT with nukes!!!!!
The Foreign Affairs Committee said Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, saying that if it did so, it would be likely to lead to other states in the Middle East seeking to do the same.
You mean, like, Israel ALREADY HAVING THEM?
Hellooooo, Zionist press!!!
Please stop your biased reporting!!!!
It said current international sanctions were "not sufficiently robust to coax [Tehran] into suspending its enrichment" while future sanctions were likely to remain ineffective.
You haven't even voted on them yet!!!
I can here the "sanctions ain't enough," war-mongering crowd already!
"A military strike would be unlikely to succeed and could provoke an extremely violent backlash across the region," it said...."
Maybe there is still hope yet. Let us pray!
