July 10/09. Iran is close to producing a nuclear weapon. Experts vary in
their opinions of how soon that may happen, but any time is too soon. Of
course, Iran must also be able to produce a miniaturized version for
mounting on a missile, but we know they're quite advanced in their missile
technology.
Iran's leaders have
warned the world quite clearly about what they plan to do when they finally
achieve nuclear capability: wipe Israel from the map. Plan B is to use their
new weapons to launch an EMP attack on America or Israel or Europe. In fact,
they've been practicing for precisely this.
The problem is that if
Iran achieves nuclear weapons capability, it
instantly becomes the leader of the Muslim world. It will be the 'big dog'
on the block known as the Middle East. What it says -- or what its proxies
Hamas, Hezbollah, or al-Qaeda say -- will be what goes, because then it will
have the muscle to back it up.
