Iran is only months from bomb technology, says Britain
A senior Foreign Office official said that while it could take Iran several years to build a serviceable nuclear weapon, it might gain the technical know how within months.
"By the end of the year is a ... realistic period," said the official. "It would be really damaging to regional security if Iran even acquired the technology to enable it to develop a nuclear weapon."
Until now, European diplomats have referred to a period of five to 10 years during which Iran might potentially build a bomb, while conceding that hard evidence is lacking.
By publicly focusing on the level of Iran's technical capabilities, Britain may have shortened the timeframe for a peaceful resolution of the crisis.

go ahead attack Iran, all the shiites will be against your troops and the sunnis will get a good chance at it. even Afghanistan will be harder to handle. The task over there will be impossible to accomplish. Let me tell you guys something, for 8 years we Iranians were in a war with the whole world against us, we had nothing left it was just us and we were still able to keep everybody back from invading us or break our pride. If we can handle against USA,Germany,Britian,France,Russia,Iraq,Saudia-Arabia,UAE, and the rest of the world and we sure can handle ISrael and US.

Please Iran was never at war against the whole world. When did this fantasy war happen?
You couldnt even handle Iraq with alittle help of the US. Once Saddam started losing and wanted to make peace Iran wanted no part of that then the US helps Iraq, Irans military gets decimated and all of a sudden Iran wants peace too.
Iran hit a US ship during the Iran-Iraq war with a naval mine and then half of Irans Navy was taken out in a single day by the US.
Iran handling a force made up of USA , Germany , Britian, France, Russia, Iraq, Saudia-Arabia,UAE not going to happen ever

PS- March.20th is Norooz for us and im sure US would not want to make the iranian citizens mad.

Ah the infamous "Basiji" sending thousands of unarmed 11-13 years olds in human wave attacks to get mowed down by Iraqi machine guns with not much more then a little plastic key around their necks they are told is the key to paradise.
They were cannon fodder
These are the tactics of the desperate
