Iran Fires Up Their Nuclear Plant

At least with some Russian help.

The arrangement with Russia is "an appropriate mechanism for Iran to see the benefits of the peaceful use of nuclear energy," State Department spokesman Robert A. Wood said in Washington. "It also demonstrates that Iran does not need to develop any kind of indigenous uranium enrichment capacity."

My money is on them getting the bomb in 2 years tops. That is if Israel doesn't do anything to stop them. I have a feeling that Obama probably won't do anything about Iranian ambitions in the region so Israel is all alone on this one. My guess is that stopping a hot war in the Middle East between Israel and Iran will be the first foreign policy challenge of Obama's presidency.
