A nuclear Iran

A nuclear Iran may be nearer than many thought, The Times report that:

"President Bush is to hold White House talks with the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Monday after publication of a nuclear watchdog’s report this week showing that Iran may have stockpiled enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb.

The International Atomic Energy Agency believes that Iran has amassed 630kg of low enriched uranium, up from 480kg in late August. Some experts believe this is enough to produce the weapons-grade material needed for a crude nuclear device similar in size to that which America used to destroy the city of Nagasaki at the end of the Second World War."

So what is to come? An Iranian nuclear attack on Tel Aviv, followed by an Israeli retaliation that leaves Tehran a wasteland? An Iranian sponsored terrorist attack with dirty bombs on several Israeli cities, with the same response? An Iranian sponsored terrorist attack with dirty bombs on several European and/or American cities, with what response?

The world is a very dangerous place and just got even more so.
