Decision time for US over Iran threat Quote:
Iran has installed 3,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium - enough to begin industrial-scale production of nuclear fuel and build a warhead within a year, the UN's nuclear watchdog reported last night.
The report by Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), will intensify US and European pressure for tighter sanctions and increase speculation of a potential military conflict.
The installation of 3,000 fully-functioning centrifuges at Iran's enrichment plant at Natanz is a "red line" drawn by the US across which Washington had said it would not let Iran pass. When spinning at full speed they are capable of producing sufficient weapons-grade uranium (enriched to over 90% purity) for a nuclear weapon within a year...

So.. what does the US do? We drew the line at 3,000 - Adminidingalingdong said they're working to get over 50,000. 3,000 is enough to get a bomb in a year......
Me thinks that if nothing happens to them..like.. they don't start doing things to make the rest of the world - especially Israel - happy.... Israel will be dismantling those 3,000 centrifuges.
