What does Mahmoud Ahmadinejad know about America that the Americans themselves don't, and is the reason he can swagger into the very jaws of his enemy? Ahmadinejad knows full well that as American troops are trashing about in Afghanistan and Iraq, killing and destroying, America herself has become a collapsing paper tiger who does not even have the courage to throw back the Latino invasion of their country. That is why Ahmadinejad breaks out in a crafty smile every time he talks about America, for he knows that in a few decades America of today will cease to exist, but Iran will only grow stronger. The people of Israel know that they must turn away from America and look to Russia for their salvation.

If Ahmadinejad gets a chance to speak at next week's nuclear conference in New York, it would be a perfect idea to have Israeli Prime Minister Natenjahoo to speak at the conference and hear what he has to say about the 300 nuclear warheads Israel has but does not want the World to know about it. Let's be realisic here, one rule must apply for everyone, disarm both culprits because both pose a threat to the World's peace.

Unless you are trying to make a joke, would you care to suggest how exactly one may start pursuing Israeli nuclear armed submarines?

anton, what proof do you have that Israel possesses 300 nuclear warheads? Perhaps the claim is just a huge bluff by Israel.

RT producers and editors have professional obligation to write only what is accurate and correct information. Three or four days ago, it was reported in this very website that the President of Iran, Mr. Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, was applying a U.S visa to come to the United States. This matter is often conducted discreetly but this was indeed well reported in the international media. So, why RT is now playing an Orwellian Doublespeak by framing the President of Iran’s visit to the U.S a surprise visit? The UN is becoming a circus and that is what is not surprise.

This is insane, what do USA mean by track record. What is USA's track record. The only country in the history of human civilization to use a atomic bomb to kill thousands of innocent children and people. The only country to use chemical agents in Vietnam war. I am sure there are many more to come. I think Clinton is poor in history. Mam please refresh you memory. You are too ignorant.

Kihnu, Not I but the whole World knows that Israel possesses nuclear arsenal of around 400 nuclear warheads with the delivery vehicles of hitting targets at the distance of 11.500 km. In addition, Israel has a second strike nuclear capabilities, using submarine launched nuclear-capable cruise missiles patrolling the Globe oceans. Former International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei regarded Israel as a state possessing nuclear weapons. Who is Israel preparing to attack with this kind of nuclear arsenal, especially nuclear capable submarines cursing the Globe.

Abel Q. Israeli nuclear armed submarines can run but they cannot hide. They were able to arm themselves with nukes because USA was assisting them and now USA having realised that Israelis are perusing anti-American policy that America is on the verge of catastrophic collapse and for once in their friendship history America has asked Israel for assistance, Israelis are declining them. It is only now that America has realised that they created a monster, with the rest of the international community and the Security Council, they should be able to disarm the Israelis by giving them strong guarantees for their security.

Anton, "the whole World knows" is not proof of anything. 'The whole world' also knows that Iran is building a nuclear weapon and using Israel as an excuse to do so. "The whole world knows" is what people respond with when they DON'T have proof to support their claims. Unfortunately, in the case of Iran's illegal activity, there is proof in the form of IAEA reports and other intelligence, including Iran's own threats and pronounced timelines. In the case of Israel, we suppose this to be the case, but there is no solid evidence. Even if Israel did not have, or be supposed to have, nukes, Iran would manufacture another 'threat' in order to justify building an arsenal, because that's what they need to do in order to get foolish people to back them in it.

It's also interesting, Anton, that you are so willing to accept what El Baradei and the IAEA believe may be the case about Israel, but when it comes to their opinion on Iran, and the mounds of evidence that they have to support it, your camp labels them as liars. Rather hypocritical isn't it?

mbach Firstly, for your information, I am NOT in either’s camp. Didn’t you comprehend my posts? I am not defending Iran, on the contrary, I am condemning the Iranians for pursuing nuclear weapons, and If they have them already they should get the same treatment as Israel, but at the same time I am concerned with the Israelis nuclear arsenal on the ground and in the submarines, because it doesn’t need stockpiles of nuclear warheads with the delivery vehicles of 11.500km as a deterrence from Iran and Syria. Israel is a danger to the whole World because they can hit any target in the World from the ground and from their nuclear armed submarines. They are armed to destroy our Planet. Aren’t you concern by this prospect? The United Nations gave Israel undisputed guarantees for its security and existence when they recognised it as a state, why so much nuclear stockpile? It’s a worrying prospect.

Vanunu has answered the question about zionist nuclear weapons more than two decades ago. There is no proof the Iran has nuclear weapons or is working on them. If there was, Iran would already be isolated by everyone, includinf Russia and China. This demonization of Iran is the same fearmongering nonsense we heard in late 2002 early 2003 regarding Iraq.
