| Iran official to agree to resume stalled investigation of nuke program; Ahmadinejad to China: beware US "wolf" interference. A senior Iranian official expressed hope on Wednesday that his country and the UN nuclear watchdog would soon be able to seal a framework agreement to resume a stalled investigation into Tehran's disputed atomic activities. Ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh spoke two days before he is due to meet senior UN nuclear agency officials in Vienna in an attempt to finalize the accord aimed at unblocking the agency's probe into suspected atomic bomb research in the Islamic state. Western diplomats say they doubt that Iran, which they often accuse of seeking to buy time for its nuclear program, will implement any accord that it signs with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Vienna-based UN watchdog. Iran denies Western allegations that its nuclear programme is a covert bid to develop the capability to make nuclear arms. "We have decided to work with the agency ... to prove that those allegations ... are forged and fabricated. That is exactly what we are going to do," Soltanieh told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board. |

| #2 FYI DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US CIA'S ASSESSMENT OF PAKISTAN NUCLEAR PROGRAMME WERE TEN YEARS BEHIND ACTUAL STATUS. Iran's??? versus * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS, DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > [NDTV] BOOK: US THOUGHT TALIBAN HAD NUCLEAR BOMB BACK IN 2009, as derived from knowingly "ambiguous" or subjective INTEL collected by the US from various sources. POTUS BAMMER WAS WORRIED ENOUGH TO SEND IN COVERT SEARCH-N-RECOVERY TEAMS TO VERIFY + LOCATE. Iff correct, it shows that the US does recognize the threat of advanced Nuke-WMDS techs proliferating to the MilTerrs, A THREAT WHICH THE US = POTUS BAMMER MUST AGAIN CONSIDER AS PER TRUSTING IRAN TO NOT WEAPONIZE ITS NUCPROGS OR PROLIFERATE TO MILTERR GROUPS, ITS OWN PROXIES OR OTHER. |

| #1 The IAEA is going to let Iran go nuclear as long as they(the Iranians) promise to only make small ones and only fission weapons no fusion weapons, no no, nothing over 250 KT (sarcasism intended). That's about all we can hope for. The IAEA has pissed away years diddling with Iran. They've written enough reports on Iran to fill Oyster Bay and they still haven't done anything. The Iranians have no delivery system that can get the weapon far enough to do any damage without rendering huge areas of their own country uninhabitable. So tell me, what on earth do they want with a weapon of mass destruction that they cannot effectively deliver? If they go nuclear, the first package will be in a lead lined ISO container headed straight for the US. They can't use it on Israel, the fallout would get the Iranians also and piss off every neighboring Arab ally they have. |
