Nuclear Iran

Last week, Governor Sarah Palin quoted an excerpt of what Sen Joe Biden said will happen if Obama became President of USA that within six months of coming into office, there will be at least one international crisis to test him. Well, do we really need that long?

The situation in the world today is so fluid that situations do develop so very quickly we do not need to wait to see if that prediction would come true. Just yesterday there is this article in Israel Today stating that Iran did some underground nuclear tests over one weekend and the tremor was felt by the USGS monitoring stations and everyone thought it was an earthquake in South Iran.

Iran says it tested nuclear bomb

An senior Iranian source has told Israel Insider that a weekend earthquake in Iran measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale was actually an underground nuclear bomb test.

The source, who claims he is a scientist aiding Iran's uranium enrichment efforts, also said that the tremor was the second in a series of nuclear tests. He said the first was recorded as a 4.8 earthquake on October 21 with its epicenter just three miles from the center of the more recent seismic event.

He said that China and North Korea have helped Iran accelerate its nuclear program far beyond where Western powers believe it stands. The source went on to reveal that Iran now has two nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles ready for use against Israel, possibly in the coming months.

Well, you interprete for yourselves whether you want to believe the article or not. The truth of the matter is that the world is pushing towards a confrontation and are we prepared for the outcomes?
