WWIII time if they do Agree. Who knows... My sense is that this is a deliberate leak, intended to make a strong point. If nukes are used, that would be catastrophic. But, actually, I was surprised that all those direct threats of annihilation went unanswered for such a long time. It is very questionable whether the US and the West will be willing - or able - to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. A little escalation of tensions may serve as a very needed wake up call for Iran - and for the world. US and the USSR kept threatening each other for decades, and it worked -- maybe because each understood that the other side meant business. Better timely threats than... a tragic reality some years down the road. This may prove to be the official inauguration of what may eventually become a nuclear standoff between Israel and its neighbors.
