The UN Atomic Agency unveiled its report that claims Iran has worked on developing a nuclear weapon design. This follows the aggressive rhetoric of politicians, calling on Israeli hotheads to curb their angry approach.
Russian president Dmitry Medvedev issued a grave warning about the consequences of militaristic rhetoric in the Middle East.
The IAEA report is unlikely to reveal any firm proof of Iran weaponizing its nuclear program, and circumstantial evidence is unreliable, says foreign affairs analyst Richard Heydarian. “The problem with the IAEA report is that it relies heavily on satellite images and data provided by Western intelligence agencies… The case of the Syrian Al-Hasakah Spinning Factory has proved that actually you cannot really rely on satellite images. There is huge room for error,” he told RT.
Former CIA officerPhilip Giraldi, told RT it is the US and Israel that are trying to turn up the heat upon Iran.
“I would be very skeptical about this report that’s coming out from the IAEA, because they don’t really have any intelligence capabilities of their own, so they are relying on reports that are coming from other people,” he said. “I would rather suspect those reports are coming from the US and Israel. It is an endless cycle of trying to prove the unprovable,” he added.
Speculation over a possible attack on Iranian nuclear facilities came ahead of the key UN atomic watchdog report, which was released late on Tuesday. Information leaked to the media indicated the IAEA report would provide circumstantial evidence that Tehran has built a testing facility and computer models of warheads.

This is it folks, the UN report is out and it confirms everyones worst fears. I'm not looking forward to what is coming next.
Lets see in the coming days in the midst of political and economic turmoil how this turns out. The timeline I have seen for a possible invasion is the next 12 months (after US elections) but maybe this could /
Maybe the commemts of obama and Sarkozy were not accidental. Just a clever way of letting israel know what they think. When israel decides to attack (note the use of when not if) it allows US/NATO to distance themselves from Israel. Then Team America goes in to mop up the mess, depose the Iranian government take the oil amd its back home fpr coffee and medals. Just sayin!
