United Nations weapons inspectors have amassed a trove of new evidence that they say makes a “credible” case that “Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear device,” and that the project may still be under way.

The long-awaited report, released by the International Atomic Energy Agency on Tuesday, represents the strongest judgment the agency has issued in its decade-long struggle to pierce the secrecy surrounding the Iranian program. The findings, drawn from evidence of far greater scope and depth than the agency has previously made public, have already rekindled a debate among the Western allies and Israel about whether increased diplomatic pressure, sanctions, sabotage or military action could stop Iran’s program.

Knowing that their findings would be compared with the flawed Iraq intelligence that preceded the 2003 invasion — and has complicated American moves on Iran — the inspectors devoted a section of the report to “credibility of information.” The information was from more than 10 countries and from independent sources, they said; some was backed up by interviews with foreigners who had helped Iran.

I've seen all I need to see. Most of us were probably convinced beforehand but this report has turned skeptics into believers. Even Russia and China are at a loss to deny, though they refuse to support further sanctions supposedly due to humanitarian reasons. Some have argued that wartime in Iraq was actually better for the innocents than the sanctions that caused them so much suffering. With sanctions out the window then it seems only a matter of time until Israel goes on the offensive.

France says they will call for the Strictest of Sanctions.....guess that means Israel should back down and quit talking crazy in French. :D We have the French Foreign Minister Chastizing the Israelis. Then Sarkosy calling Netanyahu a liar and how he cannot look in Netanyahu's Face.

Then an Iranian Fleet either docked in Syria Already or sitting in Club Med Somewheres. I do remember The Egyptians holding them up thru the Suez.

They have been caught red-handed. Now Khameni Will be Forced to Speak Up. Who just recently told the UN they have Documents too.

Sanctions haven't worked so far, I doubt further sanctions will be effective. I just don't see Russia and China sanctioning Iran.

It's going to take military intervention.

If we would have seriously supported regime change via our intel agencies the last 10 years we wouldn't be in the position today of needing to attack Iran. Another military campaign will be disastrous for the US.

All that is left with the sanctions is for them to go after Irans Oil. The whole works. Refining exports and conducting buisness with them. The Russians and the Chinese are not going to go for it no matter what.

So all this hyperbole by the French is what? If this is the way they think they are helping their friends out. Then who needs enemies.

Althought the Ferret did come out today and state they would pursue their Nuclear Program. What good is their 2 nukes to everybodys 20,000. Wonder what that meant! That they have more than just the one?

??? Iran has always had nuclear ambitions. Their nuclear program started in the 50s. Things changed after the revolution of course.

A country doesn't develop nuclear capabilities to the extent Iran has in a 3 year period. To suggest so is highly irresponsible and ignorant.

Nuclear fission and enrichment isn't an overnight project, they're not making fucking widgets.

You seem to do that with regard to our military yet shrink from holding the warmonger in chief (President Obama) responsible.
