The United States has reached an impasse in trying to stop Iran from proceeding with its nuclear programme. That programme could fuel either peaceful nuclear reactors or nuclear bombs, although Iran insists that its nuclear programme is civilian and peaceful.
Washington is coming under intense Israeli pressure to do more against Iran. Israeli officials repeat the mantra, "Israel will not allow a second Holocaust" in the context of Iran acquiring the atomic bomb.
Speculation has been mounting for years that Israel might try to attack Iran's nuclear programme. But experts say it is not as simple as the Israeli attack of 1981, which destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor, or the Israeli attack of 2007, allegedly against the beginnings of a Syrian nuclear reactor.

Also joining the show is Hillary Mann Leverett, who left the Bush administration in 2004. She's a former National Security Council director for Iran and the Persian Gulf Affairs, and has criticised Washington's "major strategic blunders" in its relations with Iran.

Is the rule of law or rules of the jungle?.......the latter.......as a race, we arent close to the former......long way to go......due to countries like the US, UK and Israel.........its a reflection on mankind.........Sure Iran is supporting "terrorists"......but the Americans were once called "terrorists" by the British......Anyone remember Irgun? the Israeli terrorist organization led by Menachim Began? in the 40's? Let the battle of propaganda continue......the masses can still be fooled
An armed man breaks down your door and enters your house wielding a knife. The offender runs towards you and demands that you give up your possessions and give him ownership of your home. You run to call the police, but the offender blocks access to the phone. You run to another phone to call the police, and the police arrive on the scene.
I am so sick of hearing about "sleeper cells"! There is no such thing, it's a hoax! Israel has no right whatsoever to declare themselves to be the only government in the region with nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Iran is doing everything legally and there equipment is not suitable to create weapons grade nuclear material. So says the UN inspectors! So the US and Israel make a blanket statement and then expect Iran to prove a negative, that they are not developing nuclear weapons.
Well by bombing or threating to bomb every nation that tries to get nuclear power in the region, while itself having around 200 nuclear weapons isn't being hypocritical, I don't know what is. There are even MANY JEWS who are ashamed of the way the Israeli government and people are acting. They are acting like Nazi's. They deprive the Palestine people of basic human rights, their land, their religion. The total elimination of religion in the world would help the world greatly.
Iran is NOT pursuing an Atomic Bomb. The inspectors have been allowed FULL access to the site and there is NO evidence that they are seeking to make weapons grade uranium. They have followed every law to the letter concerning their nuclear program.
There was NEVER a statement by the Iranian government that they wanted to blow Israel off the map. Even if Ahmajinadad wanted to blow Isreal off the map, he has NO LEGAL POWER in Iran to do so. He is a figurehead. Only the Ayatollah has the power.
