Anyone still want to negotiate?

Debka reports 4th December fromn German intelligence that Iranian scientists have successfully simulated the detonation of a nuclear warhead in laboratory conditions, in an effort to sidestep an underground nuclear test like the one that brought the world down on North Korea's head earlier this year. DEBKAfile's Iranian and intelligence sources report that this development is alarming because detonation is one of the most difficult technological challenges in the development of a nuclear weapon. Mastering it carries Iran past one of the last major obstacles confronting its program for the manufacture of a nuclear warhead.
After this breakthrough, the German BND intelligence believes it will take Tehran no more than a year to perfect its expertise and stock enough highly-enriched uranium to make the last leap toward building the first Iranian nuclear bomb or warhead. DEBKAfile's military sources confirm that simulated detonation of a warhead takes Iran to the highest level of weapons development.
Using the example of Israel and other nations, Western nuclear arms experts have claimed in recent years that since the emergence of simulated detonation technique, nuclear tests are no longer necessary.
With this hurdle overcome, Tehran has set about restructuring its defense ministry for the coming task of actually making a weapon.
The new Department for Expanded Technology Applications - FEDAT was set up to speed up the military nuclear program. It is divided into sub-departments for uranium mining (to increase the output of the Yazd mines), enrichment (to guarantee the quantity of high-grade uranium needed for weapons), metallurgy, neutrons, highly explosive material and fuel supply.
Wednesday, Dec. 2, Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said: "The Iranian nation will by itself make the 20 percent (nuclear) fuel (enriched uranium) and whatever it needs."
President Barack Obama has reminded Tehran that it has until the end of the year for a negotiated accommodation on its nuclear program that will uphold its international obligations. However, tor Iran's leaders, progress toward a nuclear weapon is now unstoppable by any diplomatic means.
Anyone still want to negotiate? If so, what about?

Debka? Now there's a source with huge credibility. How many intelligence reports have the conspiracy theorists' friends got right lately?

Odd how your name keeps cropping up all over this web site, commenting on all sorts of bloggs.
So, iainlrabbak, haneek rabbak, ayri bi rabbak, rabbak hi nayyin, bima araftan rabbak - or whatever your name is, whilst we appreciate your interest in our comments, perhaps your time would be better spent directed at web sites more appropriate to your way of thinking.

Dear Mr Cohen, Being Jewish, the Jewish Chronicle is a website that is very appropriate to my way of thinking. I'm just trying to prevent it getting the reputation as a home for extreme right wing bullies.

So, really, Mr Inn'al Rabbak, a very strange name for a Jewish boy?

Right wing bullies?
how is reporting the evidence that Iran seeks the destruction of the State of Israel the position of a "Right Wing Bully"?

Let's try and avoid thw straw man arguments. The right wing bullies are those who seek to stifle any criticism by using personal abuse. As they say over at the Spitoon blog, Heresy is just another word for freedom of expression.

Personal abuse - what personal abuse?
Stating the evidence as I see it - that is, Iran is working to obtain a nuclear weapon, whilst the "World" procrastinates and sits on its hands in a state of denial; just as the "World" behaved in Europe in the 1930's thinking "Hitler was a nice guy and he won't do anything " - "Neville Chamberlain Peace In Our Time"--- the world is in denial again. This time we have "Barak Obama - Peace in our Time" appeasing the moslems - make no mistake, Iran WILL act as soon as they have the capability to send a nuclear missile on to Tel Aviv they will.

Iran is indeed seeking to obtain nuclear weapons. But I don't see the world procrastinating. Quite the opposite, in fact, as there are sanctions and these will get tougher. And the analogy with Chamberlaine and Hitler -- is this a case of reductio ad Hitlerium? -- is so off as to be laughable. I don't see Obama appeasin anyone. Isn't Israel still getting its annual multi-billion dollar aid package? Has the US criticism of the settlements been nothing more than a weak slap on the wrist? Appeasement? No, business as usual.

"Troll Alert" Finally "Curse Your God" has been flushed out in the open. I suppose that its just a coincidence that "Curse your God" in Arabic is In al rabbak iainlrabbak"

"Curse your God" (sorry In al Rabbak) -I mean iainlrabbak should be the first one to depart-it looks like he has expired in any case.

Then we will have to keep a very close eye on ?.

As the Honest Blogger (you can call me Troll Detective), I would say Jonathan makes a very valuable contribution- He is genuine -no signs of Trolling from him at all.
