Haaretz: U.S says is alarmed about suspected nuclear site (in Iran)

[allemand]

"A U.S. official expressed alarm Thursday about a possible nuclear-weapons-related test site in Iran and accused the UN nuclear watchdog agency of keeping silent on its own concerns about the issue.

The official - a senior member of the U.S. delegation at the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors - spoke as U.S and European negotiators moved closer to agreement to censure Iran for reneging on a freeze on uranium enrichment and setting a deadline for Tehran to dispel suspicions it is trying to make nuclear arms.

The official, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said the United States was suspicious that Iran's Parchin complex, southeast of the capital, Tehran, is being used by the Islamic Republic to test high explosives, possibly with applications to nuclear weapons.

"This is a serious omission," on the part of IAEA director general Mohamed ElBaradei, said the official, alluding to the lack of specific mention on Parchin in a report written for the board by ElBaradei on the status of a probe into Iran's nuclear activities."

Is John Bolton behind this or yet another neocon?
They are really pushing for an attack, aren't they?

Let's see.....

The first one actually says who they talked to and the reporters name. The second is from an "anonymous" source and doesn't even name the specific reporters. This one is too easy.

3. The drums are beating louder

I smell an attack coming before the election. That plays right into the fear mongers game of claiming to protect the frightened little Americans. The fact that the media is going right along without pointing out these are the same exact lines we heard about Iraq is more proof of the corporate media's corruption by the republican nazis.

Iraq is a disaster...rove needs a diversion and it is Iran. Our soldies are pawns in a shamless political war being waged by the nazis against Americas democracy.
