Even Obama supports Israel to attack if its necessary

Obama is just saying that. A month ago it was something different. Obama claimed Israel was a "sore" in the Middle East and that Iran was no harm at all.

Now, another 360 degree flip-flop by Obama in order to try and gain votes and Israel's confidence. Obama's reception in Israel was not good and that is because they can tell more about him by his name than anything else.

Iran has been saber rattling for a couple years now. First it's let's talk and then "no we will not abstain from creating weaponized uranium" etc. It goes around and around. The reason? So Iran can buy as much time as possible to develope those Centrifuges necessary for dozens of Nuclear weapons.

And you'd be the one to know right?

What offers are we talking about anyway? To deny Iran any choice in what kind of reactors to use and to forbid them of producing their own fuelrods so they have to buy them from other nations. Wow sweet deal!

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) grants Iran the right to build their own reactors and to produce their own fuel rods. So who is breaking international law here by imposing sanctions on Iran for something they are entitled to?

Both the US and Iran are signatories to the NPT. Not Iran but the US is in breach of the treaty.

That brings us to another country who isnt a signatory of the NPT, yet has secretly build reactors and nukes and wants nothing more than a western attack on Iran. Any guesses?

Here's another clue:

"We wont introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East" - whilst sitting on a arsenal of at least 200 nukes.

Still nothing?

You know, if it werent for that #ty little country the US and Iran would have likely been allies by now. Their mutual interests far exceeds their differences. And as far as being a strategic ally goes, that other country couldnt compete compared to what Iran has to offer. Not to mention a direct route to the caspian base.

Perhaps thats why that other country is trying desperately to beget yet another war on its behalf.

.but other think they are a harmless country seeking nuclear energy.

Iran has far more pressing reasons to develop Nuclear power, the least of which are America and Israel:

1. Iran is a signatory of the NPT and has a legal right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes under that treaty which the US is also part of.

2. Iran's population has more than doubled in 20 years.

3. The country CANNOT refine it's own oil supplies and has to rely on imported Oil products for energy supplies.

4. Iran burns fossil fuels from it's oil reserves in huge amounts for electrical generation which is not only incredibly inefficient but is polluting their environment.

5. Poverty is a major issue for the working class in Iran. Many cannot afford the rising energy costs.
America isn't the only one feeling the increasing cost of living.

6. Iran's Oil Fields are being depleted by 2 or 3% per year.

7. Nuclear Power has incredibly minuscule operating costs compared to other methods of electrical generation.

8. Iran has huge reserves of Uranium Ore which would make the costs of fuelling civilian Nuclear Plants quite low.

9. Israel, India, and Pakistan all have nuclear weapons.
Nations which are currently engaged in low intensity conflicts and have actually threatened to use Nuclear Weapons in the past.
Why the double standard with Iran?

.i think people are in for a big shock once Iran does make one and launch it.

Launch it at who exactly?

With their current missile technology, their only target could be Israel.

And then what would that achieve?

Iran would be a smouldering crater a few days later after Washington and Tel Aviv let loose on them with a massive aerial campaign.

Ahmadinejad is not suicidal in the least.
He knows full well a nuclear attack equals the end of his presidency and possibly millions of his citizen's lives.

Iran NEEDS Nuclear Power and has the right to it.

The US has some balls telling them their forbidden to it in the first place, how exactly the American Nuclear Programme start all those years ago?

Rumours of a German programme in development sparked the Manhattan project and yet here's Washington telling Iran they're not allowed Nuclear power even for peaceful purposes.

The hypocrisy...

There is no other reason to keep so tight about the reactor from the country and not accept the offers from world powers.

You mean like Israel? Which has been denying the obvious for 30 years now:

Those deals for Nuclear Reactors offered from the West are rip-offs pure and simple.
That's why they deny them, it's cheaper for Iran to develop it's own program and not to mention fuel it, since Iran has abundant uranium ore reserves.
