Option fully available
U.S. envoy to Israel ambassador Dan Shapiro has delivered the bluntest warning by the U.S. to Iran that it will engage in military action if Iran does not cooperate on the nuclear issue. “It would be preferable to resolve this diplomatically and through the use of pressure than to use military force,” Ambassador Dan Shapiro said on Israel’s Army Radio.
“But that doesn’t mean that option is not fully available – not just available, but it’s ready. The necessary planning has been done to ensure that it’s ready,” he added on Wednesday.
Iran warns against the use of pressure
However Iran did not seemed by these comments especially since it is all set to resume nuclear talks with the international community. “Cooperation is what we can talk about in Baghdad,” warned Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in comments broadcast on state television. “Talks based on the definite rights of the Iranian nation.”
“Some say time is running out for the talks,” he added. “I say time for the [West's] pressure strategy is running out.”
The west accuses Iran of pursuing nuclear arms while Iran denies these allegations saying it is only concerned with civilian nuclear uses.
Nuclear weapons should not be in the hands of any religious extremists, neither Iran nor Israel.
religious extremism cannot be labeled to israel or jews practiced of judaism coz they don’t employ extreme measures or pressures to make people adhere to their religious tenets. Proof, israel’s society is a blend of different religious con- notations, anyone is free to practice ones own belief. about nuclear weapon, israel does not threaten anyone nation but used it as deterrent only, against those who are intent to destroy its existence, which are aplenty. only people or nation with a dark agenda against them has reason to be concerned, and indeed be…………
nice joke had a good laugh, the state of Israel, not its people, is a bully to Palestinians and neighboring countries like Lebanon, the whole planet earth knows that. The state of Israel has been adding fuel to the middle east problems non-stop, they are masters of terror. Are they in a bad neighborhood yes we know that but building settlements on areas they should not does not help peace at all.
to the victor go the spoils.
20% of all Israelis are non Jewish and have the right to vote and hold office. The Israelis unilaterally pulled out of Gaza – leaving behind over 20 million dollars worth of greenhouses, which were full of vegetables and fruit – within 12 hours Hamas destroyed this bounty – Hamas needs Palestinian pain to remain relevant, it also kills a hell of a lot more Palestinians that Israel does – (think orders of magnitude).
With the Arab Spring – soon to be an Arab nightmare, the only nation genuinely seeking peace is Israel
IMBECILE!
“the whole world” knows that Jews have horns…
IDIOT! When the entire leftist media brainwashes u into thinking like a Nazi, you will think like a Nazi! Fact is Palestinian Arabs are freer in Israel than in ANY other Arab country FACT!
Now if you want to talk to Mr Abbas and pretty please ask his people to annul their Declaration of principles of “driving the Jews in the sea” and “Eliminating the State of Israel” maybe we’ll see some movement in the Peace process. Till then, Israel has every right to be suspicious of terrorists from the territories, to build a wall and blockade anything they want (which they unnfortunately DON’T) getting into the territories and help pay the palestinian payroll every month!
lies, falsehood, deceit, chicanery, and utter disregard for human and moral values = israel
Yeah, lets rather leave the nuclear weapons with the warmongering Americans
lol, nuclear weapon- its reason!
80,000 dead civilians in irak.
WHERE NUCLEAR BOMB?
Just like the Religious Far right Christian American Nation ?
Cromag!
Why use force against Iran when North-Korea’s issue remain diplomatic.
To prevent a situation like that with North Korea. They already have nuclear weapons, so its too late to use force. The West is trying to prevent another North Korea a fortress North Korea number 2. These regimes want nuclear weapons as so to prevent outside help if a opposition would rise up, they se it as an insurrance.
the commandment said: use threat to those that can be threatened only, but plead, like sycophant, to those who can slap you down. or simply don’t dare to move or make noise.
There is a double standard procedure to the manner the west treats the nuclear
issue.on this ground it is difficult to trust the west.
Is the west anyday ready to give up it’s own nuclear weapons and programes?
Now if you happen to be a scientist from a race that is not european or semitic,
then you are not allowed to expound on your nuclear school work.
who started it ?
yes, there is that more than double-standard going around, usually weild by those who has the means and the will, and the voice, to dictate. sad reality
that we, who represent a subordinate tendency in a society, all have to ac-
cept w/ resignation. choice is being put to all of us who are in the gallery
when it comes to nuclear issue….between responsible guy and the irres-
ponsible guy………
I feel as if armed conflict should not always be the answer and if they want to expand their civilian nuclear uses by all means they should. Even though I feel that Iran does not need to have nuclear weapons, I don’t think we need to go to war over it. We just got done fighting in Iraq and I don’t think we need to move one country over and start a whole new war. I think we need to take care of some domestic issues before we take care of some of the foreign issues.
i agree!!! a noble idea and a refined consciousness. quest for peace is the highest moral of values and should be the only option for humankind. problem? in this planet there lived another human that is not kind.
Useful idiot!!
us ready to attack iran. problem??? iran not ready, yet.
Iran, the world’s greatest sponsor of terrorism including support for Hamas, Hezballah and Syria would be exponentially more dangerous with their hands on a nuclear weapon. I say the sooner the US or Israel degrades their nuclear program thru military action the better.
@ Jon Isenberg #
What evidence do you have to substantiate your comments that Iran are the greatest sponsor of terrorism? The mainstream media? Actually, the USA and Israel are. They armed Iraq to the teeth with chemical and biological weopons so they could attack Iran in the 1980-1988 war in retaliation for them kicking out their puppet the shah in 1979. Ignorant people like you make me sick!
Lol wut?
Almost every post here shows gross lack of brainpower. NOT ONE post uses anything even closely resembling the English language. To prevent displayiong your stupidity and lack of class, BE SILENT
are u kidding me. I am an iranian. And it is common knowledge in tehran that iran sponsors these organizations which are classified by any real democracy’s as state sponsors of terrorism Arming Iraq in the Iran/Iraq were does not constitute “terrorism” they were used against military forces, and by BOTH sides. Study your history before talking nonsense. Iranian agents have supplied all the bombs raining down on israeli civilian populations for years. Iranian agents have been caught terrorizing in Thailand, malasia, india and kenya just recently with bomb making equipment etc.. All there targets have been diplomats of the United States or Israel. The PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY STATES OFFICIALLY THAT ISRAEL SHOULD BE WIPED OF THE MAP. Ignorant?? wow, iran prosecutes and imprisons more journalists than any country in the whole world. WORST OF ALL, they prosecute their own population worst than anyone. There are no freedoms of any kind here, except to breath. Shame on you for your nonsense comment.
Got to believe you are the ignorant one. Iran sponsors terrorism. That is a known, but you’d probably not listen as you are no doubt a supporter. Get yourself close to one of their nuclear facilities, and wait.
I agree,the world go s down and the Islam wins the war,put them down the sooner the better.
There is no time to waste Obama,lets show the world that we don’t like to be
treat as a baby.
This fucker is playing a game,don’t give them anymore time.
ITS TIME FOR JUSTUS.
Its time to learn proper English.
this is becoming a religious war, the islamic leaders think they can impost islam on everybody look at what is happening in Northern Nigeria now but as long as the christiandom is concern they will be crush, Islam is such a barberic practice
I agree with you!
Iran wit regards to their extremity in their religion don’t have the moral attitude and character it takes to handle such a dangerous weapon.from the look of things it is very conspicuous that terrorism flows in their blood stream.i hve seen an occasion were a woman was burried half alive and stoned .with this kind of mind set these guys are drones..westerners shouldnt allow them..
Isn’t it easy for all of us if there is no nuclear arm at all? Why America think that they have the right to impose law on another country? Why some countries were given the right to have nuclear when some others don’t? And who are we to judge and meddle with others’ affair?
israel already has. if iran has what matters.
What matters is Iran is presided over by a string of mad presidents who has a nack on inflicting pain, even to its own populace. Israel hasn’t used nor threatened to use these weapons against anybody.
It’s all about who is mature and responsible enough to control his nerves.
lol, nuclear weapon- its reason!
80,000 dead civilians in irak.
WHERE NUCLEAR BOMB?
Pakistan has got numerous nuclear bombs and hides terrorists such as bin laden but still get billions in aid from america and America is the only sadistic country ever to vapourize women, children, elderly and the sick with such a weapon. Not satisfied with the first result in wiping a city of the map they dropped an even bigger one. So should america who gives aid to countries with such bombs and harbour world renowned terrorists have the right to say who does have to the nuclear rights.
Yes. If you are a good student of history, you won’t talk like this. Anyway, some of you are not really sincere with what you say online. Your intent mostly is to cause consternation.
Sometimes people just expose their ignorance online. Really, with someone like the Iranian president in power, who makes blatant sadistic statements openly about wiping out the state of Israel from the map; why should he be allowed to develop and stockpile nuclear weapons to execute his wish. Have you ever heard the state of Israel threaten to wipe out a particular race? The Iranian Junta is the devils incarnate and whether America takes him out now or not, he is heading the path of self annihilation. Evil never wins. North Korea as bad as it is, internally, has never threatened to annihilate any nation. Israel hasn’t either, though they have these weapons. If Iran had half of what israel has, they would have raked havoc across the whole world. Now that they don’t fully posses yet, look at what terrorism is doing to civilization. Where do you think terrorism is deriving its arsenal? Is iran more Islamic than Prophet Mohammed? Yet the Prophet wouldnt threaten to wipe out anybody on the face of the earth. The Prophet lived peacefully with his neighbors. Iran is an anathema that should be checked before it invites destruction to its people, like Hitler did to the Nazis.
Are you serious?? North Korea hasn’t said they’d wipe another country off the map??
You need to do a little more research and reading before making comments that are simply bullshit, North Korea has Threatened to wipe the south off the map with in 4 minutes, I believe they’ve also made threats to Japan also. North Korea is something like WW2 Germany, except it’s not Jews that are being thrown in concentration camps and murdered on a daily basis by the thousands, It’s their own people, The North Korean regime has many concentration camps throughout the country, pregnant women are tied to trees and slit open and people are forced to stand around her and throw rock at her, even little kids, if you do not throw rocks you are next to be tied up to that tree. If you are arrested in North Korea not only you but three generations of your family are arrested and thrown in these camps to die right along with you, That means
well north korea has threatend to wipe out south korea on many occasions infact it receaves food aid from the u.s as sort of a payment for not attacking
Yes iran and pakistian both suport terrorisom as does the u.s and its alies i would say more from iran/pak then the u.s but as weaker countries they are forced to fight in a more flexable mannor and a few groups we clame as terrorists are realy true liberation groups seeking to regain there homlands/rights/improve the lot of there people and fight actual oppresion.
All that aside if one is to look at the iranians millitary structor since the iran/iraq war you will find with the exception of some long range missles and “terrorist” groups they are a defencivly minded country to a absourd degree (this is a big reason we wont attack and proboly the resion we havnt in the last 20 years)
Well i dont belive they have a bomb i have no doubt they would like one but it will be as it is in all nucluer countrys a defencive weapon (rhetoric from all nucluer states is just rhetoric) i could acctuly see relations improving with a nucler iran. We would have to take the threat of imminet attack off the table and conced that iran does have some say in what happens in the region this would promote true dialoge between the two countrys instead of the threats/demands noone will give a inch situation that the u.s and iran have been involved in since the iraninan revolution
No country will give nucluer weapons to a group who will actuly use them as all countrys know when not if but when its tracked down to them that nation will die and the whole world will suport its destruction as its the only way to keep m.a.d relivent and m.a.d is the only thing keeping the true world powers from turning this planet into a fireball
the only wild card i see in this is isreal who actuly might attack iran thoe in the end despite all the talk its proboly still a bit of a long shot ratinal heads preveil in oranized goverments wether the be islamic, zionest, communest or captlest. Now if somalia had a the capasity to gain nuculer weapons i would be afraid but thats the state a country would have to be in to start tossing around a-bombs
If you can’t spell or put a coherent sentence together, please don’t post a comment. You hurt my eyes and waste my time reading it
Most of you commenting on this page are just historically and politically blind. You spend most of your time on latest hollywoods, bollywood, otherwoods, erotic chatting, gaming and other pleasurable activities. With no time left for you to read what history has to offer, you now come here to write comments based on what you have seen on the western-controlled media. Wake up people, READ, AND THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX(Media), Most of the worlds issues that west is against are all political propaganda. Its all about mind controll. Ask yourselves; WHY IS IT THAT EVERY COUNTRY THE US HAS EVER WAGED WAR AGAINST HAVE OIL? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF TERRORISM? IS THERE NO OTHER WEAPONS MORE DANGEROUS THAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS? IS ISRAEL A MEMBER OF NPT/IAEA AND WHY DO THEY CONTINUE TO OCCUPY PALESTINEAN SOIL? …………….Just a few…..SECRETS OF OUR REALITY ARE WELL HIDDEN IN BOOKS.
Oh you great study of history…
Where is the stolen oil? the US has one site (out of 14 I believe) pumping…
As for Israel and Palestine occupation … o great learner of history … why not take a look at Yasser Arafat, PLO, and a 6 day war..
In other words go back to the basement you crawled out of, read a few books, grow up , and only then you will be permitted to talk to adults.
IGNORANCE AGAIN!!! WHO PUT THE ISRAELI’S WHERE THEY ARE???? ANSWER= GOD. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED YOU ASKED WHAT THEY ARE DOING ON PALESTINIAN SOIL. GUESS YOU NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE PROMISE LAND.
NIGERIAN FOOL.
You are the fool! Israel never existed before 1948 and no God put Israeli Jews in Palestine after they lost favor with Europe and no God put the horde of est. Euro pagan migrants who descended on Palestine.by land and by sea..
250UN resolution says Israel occupation/land theft is is illegal since God forgot to give them title to the Promised Land
the west understands that the teachings of the prophet are not a religion but a doctrine of war and hate and all the talk about them being peace loving people is just rubbish as the whole mantra and operation of these mullahs is geared towards this attitude of war and hate. we see normal sane people talking into believing that by blowing them selves up for their mullah they will obtain eternal pleasure, while the koran is nothing more than a plagarisation of the old testament with a arab twist and suits the ends of countless power hungry rulers for centuries. This present situation is more about power struggle between sunni and others and has the same attitude concept that brought hilter to his position of claim of racial surperiority. Iran has been sitting back playing the we are nice guys for years while stoking the fire of war and hate via third parties and thinks there are no consequences and are stupid enough to think they could take everyone else on well as the bible says “pride comes before a fall and hauty spirit before destruction” mene mene tekel upharism you are weighed in the balances and found wanting and as daniel recorded “that night the kingdom was taken and given to another “
after watching Iran defeat Saddam in a 8Y proxy war he had waged on behalf of the West.Cheney said in a ‘matter of weeks”‘the US would subdue Iraq and Rumsfeld said it would take no more than 5months’.
Consider Syria has Iran Russia and China behind them and they haven’t been ablle to subdue Assad, I don’t fancy their chances taking on Iran who is far more deadly than Syria.. One must wonder what these delusional numb nuts are smoking.
why is the USA not supportive of the “Nuclear Free” Middle East Policy? Why is the USA shielding Israel from the IAEA? Why is the UN and its IAEA Agents not allowed to and can’t visit Israel Nuclear Sites to do Inspection to ensure it is conforming to the so-called Nuclear NPT? Why is Israel Nuclear capabilities are been helped and supported by the USA Government and tax payers money, while US tax payers money is been used to promote war and violence against a technologically advancing sovereign state?
I am ready to see Tehran is burning.
you don,t know those terrorist Persians,lets give them a historic slap.
They have no respect to other nations right and culture,so they don t deserve any.
If we wish a world terrorist free we should deal with Tehran with iron fest and not waste any more time 31 years was not…?
It´s better have a insight from Psalm 83 : Who wishes good for Israel will
be Blessed !
Take a notice !!
Who wishes good for Israel will be BLESSED !!
If the Middle East laid down their Arms, there would be Peace. If Isreal laid down it’s arms, they would be Obliterated. Everyones post is moot, enough said.
which one started the nuclear program?
which one was the first user of nuclear bombs?
which one have the thousends of these bombs?
which one have ‘VETO’?
if you answer these question certainly will know the country wants to fight!!

Gentlemen
what we are dealing here is little knowledge and acknowledgment of religion and faith.
When god says in religious books about nation of Ismael “behold he will be a wild man- every mans hand will be against him and his against everyone. Doesn’t this reminds us about Muslims in general.
its Gods ways to purge the world of evil and sin thrugh this nation.
Evil and sin of americans have bought them face to face with iraninas which i think is the best islamic ideological following country.
The outcome of this conflagration as we see from Quran is destruction of the whole world thru islam.
Y?
COS ISLAM IS NOT HERE TO RULE THE WORLD or subdue christainity But it is here to be a means of destruction in god’s hand.
Start searching your faith for loopholes to save yourself from eternal damnation.
Stop the war with Iran or go down together
.
I am a sunni but i know these saudis are acting hypocritically of late and they too will pay thru gods hand.
Support Iran to burn down the evil world.
state of isreal stirrers America the puppets here is a race of people (Israelis) who thrive of causing as much trouble as they can and getting others to do their dirty work i at times can see where Hitler was coming from when he called Jews parasites
Some thoughts on the subject.
First, let us not criticize those who comment because of their imperfect English. It is obvious that for many English is not their native language. I myself would love to be able to write as well in Russian, Chinese, Farse or Aarabic.
Second: In a certain sense I suspect it is wrong to attempt to deny the Iranians the right to develop atomic weapons or whatever type they desire – on moral grounds. Iran is a sovereign nation and, as such, has that right inheirent in its sovereignty. It seems to me to be wrong for any group of nations to assume authority to dictate to any other sovereign nation what its arms policy shall be. That being said, the Iranians should not be suprised if their rhetoric and bluster and threats provoke a preemptive action on the part of those they threaten. At this point Iran appears to deliberately want to make itself a convincing villain.
Thirdly: As an American, I see a threat to our nation and sovereignty in setting precedents that undermine the sovereignty of any nation, including Iran. What is being used by global supra-national entities to dictate policy to Iran could easily be used against the USA. I would hope that the USA will eventually disengage from such organizations as the United Nations and persue a policy of enlightened self interest where it does not let itself become embroiled in the quarrels of other nations. (See America´s illegal and unconstitutional engagement recently in Libya.(Mere “Kinitic military actions” according to Hillary Clinton.) America must maintain a strong and ready military but need not intervene in every nation that wants to decimate itself by internal strife and civil war.
The US has often been accused of trying to be the “World´s Policeman”. Whatever the truth there is in this, it has been a thankless task.
I can’t wait to see Tehran turned into a radioactive mass graveyard. I long for the end of Persian civilization. Coming soon!
The current plight of the Palestinians was in no way caused by the Israelis, but by the UN in 1949 when the UN refused to allow the Palestinaians to leave, preffering to put them up in refugee camps so that the incoming Jews would have a massive problem on their hands.
The Jews allowed the Palestinains exactly the same rights as Jews in Israel in the early days, and this went on for many years with Palestinians having the same access to free education, health and voting. However, successive leaders of the Palestinians decided they didn’t like this, as freedom is against the Muslim edicts, and so started to cause trouble to the Jews by bombings, shootings and other acts of terrorism against the Jews, and not only in Israel, but also in foreign lands (remember the massacre of the Israeli Olympic Team in Germany?).
These so-called leaders of the Palestinians not only caused trouble with the Israeli government and its people, but have systematically murdered tens of thousands of Palestinaians over the years and plundered whatever wealth the Palestinains had.
It is well documented that Yassir Arafat stole over US$8Billion from his own people, yet this was still not enough for him and he wanted more and was only stopped by his own death. His wife and children are still spending this stolen money and she is living on the entire top floor of a top Paris hotel flying everywhere in a helicopter as she is too frightened to travel by car lest the Palestinians murder her.
The Israelis were forced to build the wall to try and stop all the suicide bombers, and still even today, many of these are caught trying to get passed the Israeli security at the wall.
However, no-one puts any blame on the Egyptians, yet they payed for and built half the wall, and it was the Egyptians who put the steel staunchens in the ground to prevent the Palestinians from tunneling out and into Egypt.
The true trouble makers are the UN and their very strong allegiance with the Muslim terrorists, allowing UN ambulances to carry weapons for the terrorists, and putting Saudi Arabia into the Commision for Human Rights.
What a joke!
More than half the edicts the UN prints are admonishmens of Isreal, yet they say nothing about the murdering of hundreds of thousands of Christians in Africa and other nations by Muslims, nor the slavery going on in Muslim countries, nor the selling of young girls into marriage with old Muslim men they have never met, to be beaten and raped for the rest of their miserble lives.
Try walking down the street in Saudi, or Iran, or Syria or any other Muslim country with your gay boyfriend drinking a can of beer. You will be beaten and killed. Yet, you can do this freely in Israel and no-one will bat an eyelid.
Israel is the ONLY free country in the middle east, yet they are looked upon as the evil ones of the area.
Israel has Paelstinian teachers, doctors and even judges, but have you ever heard of a Jewish judge in Saudi, Syria or Iran?
Look at what the Syrian government are doing to its own people. Killing, bombing and shooting even women and children.
That is what a Muslim state is all about!
Iran shows no concern about an attack. Why?
As it appears, Iran is a stand up country.
Were I Iran I would think, “Hell! you got it. Why can’t I have it”?
