WASHINGTON (AFP) – Israel has "eight days" to launch a military strike against Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility and stop Tehran from acquiring a functioning atomic plant, a former US envoy to the UN has said.
Iran is to bring online its first nuclear power reactor, built with Russia's help, on August 21, when a shipment of nuclear fuel will be loaded into the plant's core.
At that point, John Bolton warned Monday, it will be too late for Israel to launch a military strike against the facility because any attack would spread radiation and affect Iranian civilians.
"Once that uranium, once those fuel rods are very close to the reactor, certainly once they're in the reactor, attacking it means a release of radiation, no question about it," Bolton told Fox Business Network.
"So if Israel is going to do anything against Bushehr it has to move in the next eight days."
Absent an Israeli strike, Bolton said, "Iran will achieve something that no other opponent of Israel, no other enemy of the United States in the Middle East really has and that is a functioning nuclear reactor."

Yeah Yeah Yeah. Rumour peddlers.

Go get a real job, lol.

funny the commissioning of the nuclear reactor coincided with the launch of missel drones,as a message from the iranians to their enemies to stay clear of their nuclear revolution

Iran's missile drone are worse than the one built and made in Russia that have no embargo on them, talk less of a nation like Iran who no fit get all what they need. If anyone needs reminding, their so called missile launch some few months back contained doctored images. Why would this be? The logical speculation is that one out of the four rockets fail to ignite and launch.


When push come to shove, Iran's air defence system are no match for US/Arab/Israel/Kuwait and co collaboration.

And you see iran president beeming with so much confidence, we all know he is just playing media pranks
its all iran noise and media hype,iran can hurt a fly, they can't .

see what happened in iraq , before they were attacked by the us, their infomrmation minister made empty threats.

but i still insists iran has a right to own nuclear technology just like any other country,except north korea,that kim guy is an slowpoke

Bombing a sovereign nation is a declaration of war. The consequences are enormous and there will be more terrorism.

Ok, Iran's nuclear reactor started some day's ago. Abi di 8 days nefa finis since last week?

This 8-day business was started by John Bolton, one of the most belligerent war-hawks in the US. Ironic because he used to be their chief diplomat in the UN. He has been clamoring for bombing Iran for a long long long time now.

ANyway the 8 days have come and gone now. The reactor is functioning and nothing has happened.

Beaf:

I mean, it is the best I can do and ignore your jibe.

Ikomi,

Here is your idol once again denying the Holocaust, but I am guessing you will purposely miss thread like this, given the fact that you have defended him in the past that he never said such a thing.

Seriously, it is the best I can do.

What most guyz in here tend to forget is that Iran is progressing with the help of russia.

Soon they would master things themselves, abi we don forget say this was the former persian civilization,

Isreal, would not want to do that. Their big brother US is not too much in their support and there still the Gaza bombings of UN buildings and of recent the

flotilla issue.
