Zapruder plaatst: “De Iraanse bom is wiskundig onwaarschijnlijk”
CIA-consultant Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, een expert op het vakgebied, liet game theory los op de situatie in Iran. Volgens zijn modellen is de kans dat Iran een nucleaire bom gaat ontwikkelen klein. Hoe sneller we het land met rust laten, hoe ongevaarlijker het zal worden. En eigenlijk is dat ook wat alle controlerende agentschappen altijd al zeiden. http://zapruder.nl/portal/artikel/de_iraanse_bom_is_wiskundig_onwaarschijnlijk/rss

Obama veranderde toon tegen Iran na verkiezing tot president
Poll: Americans want to talk to Iran
Obama's "engage Iran" policy has gained the support of the American public with 56% seeking to enter direct diplomacy with Tehran. During the Democratic primaries, he promised to meet the leaders of Iran "without preconditions". After being elected he employed a slightly different tone.

U.S. now sees Iran as pursuing nuclear bomb
In a reversal since a 2007 report, U.S. officials expect the Islamic Republic to reach development milestones this year. Little more than a year after U.S. spy agencies concluded that Iran had halted work on a nuclear weapon, the Obama administration has made it clear that it believes there is no question that Tehran is seeking the bomb.

"Netanyahu wil Obama voeren naar een oorlog in Iran"
Netanyahu 'will coax Obama into Iran war'
The Israeli prime ministerial frontrunner will win a US blessing to enter war with Iran, says a source familiar with US Mideast policies.
Aaron David Miller, the US State Department's top analyst in the 1980s, said "Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu will be able to convince President Barack Obama that a military attack is the only solution to the Iranian nuclear issue".

Israel to Obama: Hold Iran's Feet to Fire, or Else
Israel will go along with President Barack Obama's Iran diplomacy, but try to shorten the deadline for results by signaling its willingness to attack Iranian nuclear sites if need be.
Israel votes on Tuesday and its next prime minister -- the front-runner is rightwinger Benjamin Netanyahu -- is likely to go to Washington within a few months and press Obama to stick to his campaign promise not to let Iran develop an atomic bomb.

Observations and Iran and Tehran
The name of Iran is officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, formerly known internationally as Persia until 1935. It is a country in Central Eurasia, located on the northeastern shore of the Persian Gulf and the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. The capital is Tehran.
Since 1949, both the names "Persia" and "Iran" are used, however, Iran is used for an official and political context. The name Iran is a cognate of Aryan, and means “Land of the Aryans”.
Nowadays Iran has a population of over seventy million.
Iran is bordered on the north by Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. As Iran is a littoral state of the Caspian Sea, which is an inland sea and condominium, Kazakhstan and Russia are also Iran's direct neighbors to the north.
Iran is bordered on the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, on the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, and on the west by Turkey and Iraq.
Tehran is the capital, the country's largest city and the political, cultural, commercial, and industrial center of the nation.
Iran occupies an important position in international energy security and world economy as a result of its large reserves of petroleum and natural gas.
Iran is home to one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilizations, with historical and urban settlements dating back to 4000 BC.
The Iranian Medes unified Iran into a kingdom in 625 BC. They were succeeded by three Iranian Empires, the Achaemenids, Parthians and Sassanids, which governed Iran for more than 1000 years.
After centuries of foreign occupation and short-lived native dynasties, Iran was once again reunified as an independent state in 1501 by the Safavid dynasty, who promoted Twelver Shi'a Islam as the official religion of their empire.
Iran had been a monarchy ruled by a Shah, or emperor, almost without interruption from 1501 until the 1979 Iranian Revolution, when Iran officially became an Islamic republic on 1 April 1979.
Iran is a founding member of the UN, NAM, OIC and OPEC. The political system of Iran, based on the 1979 Constitution, comprises several intricately connected governing bodies.
The highest state authority is the Supreme Leader. Shia Islam is the official religion and Persian is the official language.
