Saudi crown prince rules out compromise with Iran
2011-11-02
[Dawn] Saudi Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz on Tuesday ruled out any compromise with Iran over allegations of Iranian involvement in a plot to murder the Saudi ambassador to Washington.

"There can be no compromise with Iran concerning the liquidation bid because there is no need for it," the crown prince, who also holds the interior ministry portfolio, told a news conference in Mecca.

"We are ready to deal with any scenario," he added without further details.

Iran has fiercely and repeatedly denied any involvement in the alleged plot, which the United States said implicated an Iranian-American car salesman in jug and Iranian officials in a plan to hire a Mexican narco mob to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington.

#3  which IMO infers that any NucWeaps it has will be used "defensively", in case of US-led ground invasion + occupation, or "offensively" vee MilTerr proxies e.g. Hezbollah, Other.

Depends on their success integrating the warheads with their missiles.

* FREEREPUBLIC > [Wash Times]KAHLILI: IRAN ALREADY HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

Presum that Reza Kahlili is correct or mostly reliable, it appears that Iran may have procured foreign = ex-Soviet NucWeaps [tactical only?] but does NOT yet possess the indigenous tech proficiencies to manufacture its own at will, which IMO infers that any NucWeaps it has will be used "defensively", in case of US-led ground invasion + occupation, or "offensively" vee MilTerr proxies e.g. Hezbollah, Other.

Iff Kahlili is correct, then by definition the US + UNO, etal. are also fighting the clock agz various MilTerr Groups dev their own proficiencies in same.
