Iran has secretly built thousands of centrifuge machines for its nuclear plant at Natanz, an exiled opposition figure alleged.

The claims by opposition figure Alireza Jafarzadeh could not be independently verified, but if confirmed, they would likely enflame the worsening standoff over Iran's nuclear program.

The new allegations came hours after Iran resumed sensitive nuclear research after a two-year suspension, triggering fierce Western condemnation and risking censure by the UN Security Council.

Jafarzadeh, citing what he said was intelligence from the Iranian opposition and sources within the Iranian nuclear program, said Tehran had already committed serious violations before Tuesday

Crazy that the same bodies are keening about WMD in a new country, yet no one has called them to task for the last time they brought this up.

"Iran has built 5,000 centrifuges"

Funny thing, we just ordered 5,000 bunker buster bombs made, coincidence?

Nuke Iran now. If anyone thinks they can threaten the gulf with scuds if we attack them now... How much more will Iran be able to threaten the gulf with nukes in their arsenal?

If we continue to wait, we continue to embolden the enemy = Islam.

Awww, just leave the peace-loving Iranians alone. They have only the best of intentions.

Besides, Saddam had the makings of centrifuges and we all know he didn't have WMD's right?

Nuke Iran now.

It might be a little less messy if we just cut off the head of the snake as opposed to blowing the whole thing to smithereens.

The Mullahs would probably change their tune if a few of 'em's heads explode unexpectedly......

These mullahs are easy to replace. During the first year of the Ayatollah Revolution, lots of em were killed - to no avail. But hey, we can give them 48 hours to get out of town. We did the same thing on the two nukes of Japan - only problem was the police wouldn't let the people pick up the leaflets dropped.

Maybe the internet would be harder to stop.
