#1 He hinted at a possible military strike against Iranâs nuclear facilities, saying that there was a window of opportunity for destroying Iranâs main nuclear complex at Bushehr next year that would close if Russia delivered crucial fuel rods. To destroy Bushehr after the delivery would cause huge environmental damage.

Who says the window really closes? Faced with a choice between a nuclear-armed Iran and localized environmental damage from radioactive contamination, the right choice really isn't all that difficult to make.

#2 Story is out of the London Times so it might actually have some shred of truth in it. It would be interesting to see what would happen in Iran if the top layer of turbans were to suddenly disappear, particularly if the leaders of the various groups of thugs used to suppress the people were to disappear as well. The 509th could make it so.
