The Christian Science Monitor - Asked why they're suspicious of Iran's nuclear intentions, US officials point to Natanz.
Iran's Natanz nuclear site is in a remote area 200 miles south of
Tehran. Key facilities are buried, with vehicle entrance ramps hidden
beneath dummy buildings. Construction there has continued in recent
months despite Iran's nuclear negotiations with the West - recent
satellite photos revealed at least seven new buildings.

The Scotsman - George Santayana, the American political philosopher,
famously said “Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are
destined to repeat them.” We had better prepare ourselves for some
sharp history lessons if current events in Iran are anything to go by.
As the brutal, fascist regime tightens its grip in that beleaguered
nation, the parallels with the rise of Nazi Germany are menacing.

 Reuters - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Monday there
was strong international consensus against Iran's nuclear plans and
time had run out for talking to Tehran.
With Italy's foreign minister at her side, Rice said the next step must
be to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council. The United States
believes Iran is building a nuclear bomb but Iran says its nuclear
program is for peaceful, energy purposes.

 Iran's vast oil and gas reserves have been used to perpetuate the life of the religious dictatorship ruling that country. Now, the mullahs are brandishing the "oil weapon" in an attempt to blackmail the international community.
Tehran's top nuclear negotiators boast brazenly that if in the case of referral to the UN Security Council and the imposition of sanctions, they will use their "full national capabilities" against the West. This "full national capabilities" is a clear reference to the use of oil as a weapon.

Iran’s drive to build a nuclear bomb has reached the point where
President Bush should lay the facts of the coming crisis before the
American people and draw a line in the sand for Iran.
If the president is serious that an Iranian bomb would be “a grave
threat to the security of the world,” the odds are that he may well
have to destroy several of Iran’s nuclear facilities by military
attacks. It’s now time to warn Iran openly. It’s also time to start
building the public support he will need.

The Washington Times - They share a border, a strategic location, a
deep hostility for the United States, a critical role in world oil
markets and an ill-concealed ambition to obtain nuclear weapons.
