But I too, think he will likely pull some kind of "crack down" on those critical of the ruling regime. Perhaps accompanied by some form of manufactured "evidence" of western involvement.
No, they're too clever to do that. And no intelligence agency believes they have actually weaponized, although all believe that the loons are rapidly moving that way. They are just as feverishly working on extending their capability of delivering the weapon as they are on developing the weapon itself.
So he may announce another leap in technology toward their ability to develop an intercontinental missile:
What good would that do a non-nuclear power? Quite the opposite, it might have the effect of scaring enough Americans into demanding action against them. If they do it, I think we can safely say they have a nuke or two stashed somewhere for a rainy day.
Besides, they don't need ICBM capability to be, as a practical matter, "untouchable" once they have a nuclear device. They can hit enough capitals with the missles they already have.
Sure they were! I started this thread last night and before I started it I Google searched the topic and there were multiple pages of links. The topic was in the news all day Monday and I believe over the weekend. It was also covered by cable news throughout the day yesterday.
mute point doesn't matter but I googled with copy paste for web and news,
nothing, copied exactly as written Ahmadinejad: Iran will deliver a telling blow to global powers on February 11
maybe my google is broken but I sure as hell know how to google

I don't think they would test an ICBM until they were on the verge of, or immediately after, nuclear weaponization. That would instantly make them a threat to the US, a threat that the US could not end without nuclear war. Yes, with nukes they could establish complete hegemony over the mideast (only Israel would be in their way) and threaten Europe without an ICBM. But I think ultimately they have an ideological and fanatically religious goal of challenging the Great Satan directly.
That's why it's so extremely important to put an end to them NOW, one way or another.
