Sorry, Daniel

Sorry, Daniel. Iran will not listen to warnings, however strong; they will only sound like threats and bluffs. The only thing that will stop them is military action. I suspect it must already be in the works during the Bush administration, a joint venture between Israel and the United States, Israel doing the dirty work but the United States providing back-up war fleets, including aircraft carriers, in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf.

The only thing that will stop it is a clear and undoubted shut-down by Iran of its nuclear efforts, but there is absolutely nothing in the past to suggest it will occur. Bombs away in the next six months! Expect it!
