<The IAEA Governing Board has given Iran until the end of October to dispel doubts that its stated policy of developing nuclear energy was not a cover for building atomic arms.>

And then what? Will the Russians stop selling nuclear technology and materials to the Iranians? Will the U.S. invade? (where are the troops to do this?). Will the world stop buying Iran's oil, till they give up their nuclear weapons development programs? No, nobody has the will or capability to do any of these things. So it is a near-100% certainty, Iran will have nuclear weapons, in the next 2 years or so.

Bombing Iran is not a realistic option. The facilities are probably duplicated and hidden. We could never be sure we'd actually taken out all the facilities. It would be an act of war.

Israel and the U.S. keep saying they "can't allow this", but there is little realistic we can do about it.
