Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran's parliament and a former nuclear negotiator, said there was "only a little time left" for talks before Iran would make unspecified moves that the West would regret.

That sounds like a clear-and-present threat. Bring it on.
MOVE ZIG!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
Once again these slims let their battleship mouths over run their whale boat A$$e$.Amen.
In other words, Iran is saying:
“We don’t have nukes. We are not trying to attain nukes. But, if you don’t leave us alone, we’re going to nuke you.”
Bite me.
Time is running out for the Iranian despot mullahs and their soul damned thugs.
Are we done talking yet? Can we bomb the living daylights out of them now?
The term “unspecified moves” does sound interesting.
I detect an attitude here, and I really like it!

Here's some interesting scenarios given by a Middle East expert. None of them are good for the Israelis. The fundamental problem for the Israels is that the extreme range for their F-15’s and F-16’s with drop tanks is about 1,000 miles. However, they will need to fly about 1,200 miles to so to strike most of Iran's nuclear facilities. While Israel does have some limited air refuel capability,with the exception of the Iraq route, it would have to be utilized over hostile air space. Anyway, suggest you read this article as the various options are well defined. http://francona.blogspot.com/2006/03/iran-israels-air-strike-options.html
They would be funny, like a Monty Python skit or something, if the stakes weren't so very high.
One thing about them though, as long as they are running their mouths they're historically pretty harmless. It must be an Arab pride thing.
Thank you Snoring Bear.
It’s not a pretty situation — no matter what happens.
"The United States has to realize that they cannot resolve all their problems through aggression and force," Khatami said at a conference in Oslo promoting dialogue between the Islamic world and the West.
Although they have been talking like this for a while, the fact that with the elections coming, Israel is unlikely to look to the US for support by the new administration.
” Israel is unlikely to look to the US for support...”
Yep.
