If Khatami wins in June, how likely is it that he will suspend Iran’s nuclear program in favour of placating the West? According to a source within the IAEA, Iran isn’t currently capable of producing a nuclear weapon. In fact, the IAEA has been routinely contradicted by Washington with regards to Iran’s capabilities, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. The last thing that the United States is prepared to do is take the IAEA at its word after completely fucking over Hans Blix in 2002-03.
Of course, the Israelis aren’t waiting. According to The Telegraph, Israel has already launched a covert war against Iran, including the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, sabotage, and the usual apparatuses required, such as the creation of front companies and so forth.
