Meh... German intel cant be taken seriously, not since the STASI went down. And even when we took it seriously, we didnt like it much.

...and all Europe is interested is the contine of the oil flow from this region.....it´s israel who has to worry.

So, you don't think a major nuclear detonation in the Middle East would disrupt oil flow to Europe? Wow. How naive can one get?

Not only would a major nuclear detonation in Israel, and following, the complete destruction of Iran, disrupt oil flow to Europe, it would also disrupt oil flow to the rest of the world and Europe would be left begging the Russians for oil and gas. Life as you know it would cease to exist, my FRiend.....

did i say that? i only said that iran is not seen as a dirrect security threat for Europe. that´s why i said europe is only interested in the contine of the oil flow.
iran is just a trade partner (btw. much more important than Israel). there is no big conflict between iran and EU.

did I say that?

Yes, in fact, you did, only using different words:

Well shure “we” would not be happy if iran gets the bomb. but iran is not considered as a security threat for europe.

This statement is naive in the extreme, but it gets better:

“we” do buisness with them and all Europe is interested is the contine of the oil flow from this region. so for example the EU does not have special interessts in iran or this region which could result in a conflict. it´s israel who has to worry.

The contradiction in the above statement is unbelievable. When the Straight of Hormuz is blocked and the entire region is contaminated with nuclear fall out, 40% of the world's oil will cease to flow and that includes flow to Europe. Europe, and in fact, the entire world, most definitely has interest in keeping Iran from detonating a nuclear bomb in Israel or even gaining the capability to do so, regardless of whether or not you realize it. Your ignorance on this matter is astounding.....

did i say something different? When have is said that detonating a nuclear bomb would have no consequences. but you seem to think that the day iran gets the bomb they would have nothing better to do then quick write Israel on it and then send it on its way. but my original post was directed to a Freeper who stated that “ Europe is going to get deal with a major crises without the US doing the heavy lifting this time.” and all i did was pointing out facts that this is not true because Europe has no special beef with iran. thats all. Because Iran getting the bomb would not let to a major crisis in Europe. Iran using the Bomb... well this would be a different topic.

Iranian Website: Russia Deliberately Delaying Bushehr Reactor Completion

The Iranian website Tabnak stated that Russia is deliberately delaying the continuation of the construction at the Bushehr nuclear reactor, in order to raise work costs, and that it is also not selling S-300 missiles to Iran, which would be for defense against a possible attack on the country by the U.S. and/or Israel.

The website assessed that if Iran is attacked, Russian oil revenues will double.
