Blair: We're Likely To Seek Iran Nuke Sanctions
And Iran makes another threat:
In Iran's first response to the international outcry, former President Hashemi Rafsanjani said he was "astonished" by the West's attempt to "bully" Iran.
"If they cause any disturbance, they will ultimately regret it," he warned.
"Keeping the Third World and the Islamic world several steps behind has been the West's traditional colonial policy," he said in a speech for the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha broadcast live on state television.
"Even if (the Westerners) destroy our scientists, their successors would continue the job," he said. "It would not be easy for them to solve the (nuclear) case by imposing sanctions or anything like that."
Mission: Doable: Israeli general thinks that a strike could "cripple" Iran's nuke program.
Thanks to Ilbis for that.
