I dont look for this to happen. If Tehran does an underground test of a nuclear device it makes them outright liars, It states in no uncertain terms that they arent looking for Nuclear energy, but nuclear war. It would send a message to all that Iran has become to dangerous to be allowed to exist as it is now.

I believe an underground explosion of a nuclear test would force the rest of the world to take Iran by force .I think even France and Germany at that point would stop waving the white flags.

Iran can't test a nuke that soon.

Won't happen.

[jimbo123]

They already have them courtesy of Pakistan and/or North Korea.

[Dog Gone]

Well, that's the supposed theory for the date.

[DainBramage]

Gravy is good on hats, I've had it.

[Steveone]

Agreed!

[Dog Gone]

I hope I don't find out firsthand.

[WOSG]

"DEBKA is not always reliable."

ROFL!

Now that Debka says it, I can rest easy knowing it WONT happen.

Iran's first test of Nuclear Weapon will be a "live" test over Israel....

Iran knows they have one chance to take out the bulk of Israels response. The Muslim plan is that there are more Muslims than Jews, and we already know that they consider martyrdom for "the cause" to be acceptable ... even if it isnt voluntary.

Seems like we should drop a nuke on them on March 22 from about 40,000 feet and say "Holy Cow.... I can't believe they attempted an above ground detonation!"

[festus]

Well I was wondering if there might be any truth to this rumor, and was suspicious it wasn't true ( the setting of a hard date that is ).

But then I saw it in Debka.............

[festus]

;Eye red it two.

LOL. Were u edumakated in the publik skuls two ?

[F16Fighter]

The question now is: will the United States, Israel or both deliver a pre-emptive strike ahead of the Iranian underground test - or later?

Is U.S. sponsored assassination still illegal?

[popdonnelly]

It appears that the extremist Muslim plan is to nuke Israel. If I was Israeli, it would never happen.

[strategofr]

"But why the 20th"

Iranian new year, apparently

[strategofr]

"elections?"

Israeli

[strategofr]

" Is U.S. sponsored assassination still illegal?"

no.

[strategofr]

"Iran's first test of Nuclear Weapon will be a "live" test over Israel...."

not practical. expertise must first be developed.

[strategofr]

"Iran can't test a nuke that soon.

Won't happen."

How do you know?
