World powers united in condemnation of Iran’s nuclear activities yesterday in a rare show of international consensus on the threat posed by Tehran’s continued nuclear defiance.
China and Russia joined the United States, Britain, France and Germany in backing an International Atomic Energy Agency resolution censuring Iran and ordering it to halt construction of a secret uranium enrichment plant.
This looks like the green light albeit covertly that Israel was looking for to begin preparation to destroy as much of the Iranian nuclear infrastructure as it is able to. Though Ahmadinajad is making his usual threats about retaliation he appears to lack the conviction of earlier rants, my opinion is he has bluffed and blustered believing that Russia and China would stay onside, thus watering down any proposed US sanctions. now that his two former allies have shifted their stance the writing looks on the wall.
I did think that and have stated on these pages previously that I believed Israel would be in a position to attack installations by years end, I see no reason to change my opinion.
