VIENNA (AP) - Experts at the world's top atomic watchdog are in agreement that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is on the way to developing a missile system able to carry an atomic warhead, according to a secret report seen by The Associated Press.
The document drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency is the clearest indication yet that the agency's leaders share Washington's views on Iran's weapon-making capabilities.

It appears to be the so-called "secret annex" on Iran's nuclear program that Washington says is being withheld by the IAEA's chief.

The document says Iran has "sufficient information" to build a bomb. It says Iran is likely to "overcome problems" on developing a delivery system.

Iran experts at the UN nuclear monitoring agency believe Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and worked on developing a missile system that can carry an atomic warhead, according to a report.

The document drafted by the International Atomic Energy Agency is the clearest indication that those officials share Washington's views on Iran's weapon-making capabilities and missile technology, even if they have not made them public.

Obama has made a huge miscalculation. Obama is clueless!:mad:

When I first saw the title thread, I thought "What? They're giving them permission to build a nuclear bomb?" Then I realised that it's just Obama (and Russia) that's giving them the wink, not the IAEA.

Yep, not a matter of "if" but "when"?

So if it's inevitable, what's the point of bombing their facilities?

1. target practice

2. to greatly delay their timetable

I didn't mention bombing their facilities but if it's done, then it will slow them down a great deal, I'm sure.

Yeah, well there are more bombs for their facilities where those came from.:thumbsup:

What are we supposed to do? Sit back and wait and hope they don't decide to build one or two and use them?!

Iran will eventually succeed with nuclear weapons. We can delay it, but it's going to happen. Israel will not hold the monopoly on nuclear weapons in the region. That's why it's good thing we're moving our missile defense systems out of Eastern Europe in order to protect the region in case anything happens.

Israel is prepping for this, but I think Kuwait better prep for the coming bomb as well.

Iranians live and work in Kuwait. Why would they bomb their own people?

Same reason they oppress their own people and dictate to them what they can and cannot do, what women must wear, etc.

Iran wouldn't care about losing a few of their own people in a nuke explosion. They'd just say they were martyrs for the cause. They care nothing for people, as they proved in the last election.
