Israel/U.S/Iran: build up to war: Updates!!

[wakeup2nwo]

Focus U.S.A. / 'The U.S. will have to confront Iran or give up the Middle East'

Amitai Etzioni, professor of International Relations at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., believes the only option available to contain Iran's atomic ambitions is a series of assaults on its non-nuclear facilities. He maintains that President Obama's attempts at dialogue have failed, and drastic steps must be taken to prevent the U.S. losing its Middle East dominance to Tehran.

Writing in the U.S. Army's "Military Review" journal, Etzioni lists four possible responses to Iran's nuclear program - engagement, sanctions, military strikes and deterrence. He concludes that engagement has failed, sanctions are not likely to work, military strikes on Iran's suspected nuclear sites are unlikely to be effective either and might only delay the program (Defense Secretary Robert Gates believes this would probably be by one to three years), and deterrence works with rational actors, but it’s a gamble to rely on it with non-rational actors. This, he hypothesizes, leaves strikes on Iranian infrastructure that is not necessarily related to its nuclear program.

Speaking to Haaretz on Wednesday, Etzioni concedes that such a move could be interpreted by Iran as a declaration of full-scale war.

“That’s a fair point," he says, "but what’s the alternative? The best way will be to sit at the table and solve all our problems peacefully. I was in war, I was in the Palmach [the pre-state Jewish fighting units that became the basis for the Israel Defense Forces], and I don’t like shooting anybody. It comes to the declaration that there are no other alternatives. Sanctions are not going to work, everybody knows that. Assuming that if they have nuclear weapons we are going to contain them – it’s a very risky assumption.”

This option is not mentioned in the mainstream discourse.

“But it was published in the official U.S. army publication as a cover story. It says something, no? It’s not simply what a professor says. I agree that the White House is far from it, but somebody considered it worth discussing. You must assume that the military option covers several options”.

One of the strategic assets of Israel today vis-à-vis Iran is the fact that the Arab countries are on its side. Wouldn't that vanish in the event of such an attack?

“We do not want Iran to have a nuclear weapon and there is no way you can damage nuclear sites sufficiently by attacking them. There is only one alternative left. I should hasten to add – it’s not a policy Israel has to follow, it’s a policy the U.S. can follow because there are too many missions involved. Some people say Israel should do it and then the U.S. can enter under the excuse that it’s its ally, and some people think coalition is better. Coalition is always better, but in this case it’s very unlikely that many other nations would like to join the Administration.

What’s happening in the Middle East is that the countries are assuming that the U.S. is going to fold and retreat. It’s obviously going to get out of Iraq. The Pakistanis are very suspicious of the US commitments. Syria is moving toward Iran, Turkey is moving toward Iran. So the underlying text in the Middle East is that the next superpower in the Middle East is Iran. So even if you for a moment put aside the nuclear issue – to keep the U.S. credibility to protects its resources and oil, the issue will not be settled in Afghanistan and Iraq, it will finally come down to the confrontation between the U.S. and Iran. So maybe the U.S. should get out of Afghanistan, because it’s not the real war anymore. But if the U.S. is going to let Iran to become a nuclear power – all the other countries, including the Sunni ones, will run to it. The U.S. will have to confront Iran or give up the Middle East”.

So the hope that the Iranian opposition might still bring an inner change is lost?

“I think by now the tyrannical regime succeeded in suppressing the opposition. And another point - I was their guest in Iran in 2002, of the Center for Dialogue Among Civilizations. And I met many leaders in this movement. They were the first to start the nuclear program. They are against religious domination, but there is not a slightest hint that they will stop the nuclear program if they come back to power. Democracy might be wonderful, but even though they are anti-clerical, they are very nationalistic.”

We have the cliché that the clock is ticking. What kind of timetable did you assume while writing this article?

“I don’t have any other information than everybody else has. But there is a rule in decision making – it’s extremely simplistic but very true – it’s better be safe than sorry. So if the option is to hit them one month too early or 10 days after they have a nuclear weapon – I’d rather take the first option. And obviously there is not much time left”.

President Obama offered to the world dialogue as a new paradigm, wouldn’t it shatter this premise?

“The time for engagement has run out. Obama tried it, offered to meet them any time, any place, with no conditions – and they spit in his face. So it’s not going anyplace, it’s not working. The Arab world is moving away from him, Turkey is moving away from him. The notion of engagement and turning another cheek is a wonderful idea, it’s just not working.”

But the damage of throwing it away after a year and a half might cause more damage and erase any credibility left. Then going back to torture sounds fine as well.

“It’s a good point. They should never torture and of course they shouldn’t go back to business as usual. But you cannot conduct international relations [on] goodwill only. And Iran is a very good test of that. Maybe 50 years from now this strategy will win, but in the short term it’s giving up on the Middle East. The U.S. army is exhausted and overstretched, that’s why I think they should get out of Afghanistan. And second, I think it’s an air force job and not an army job. There should be no boots on the ground”.

That’s what the Israeli high command thought at the beginning of the second war in Lebanon - that they could bomb some strategic sites and Hezbollah would fold. It didn’t happen.

“True, there are many studies showing that the air attacks are not as effective as people think they are. But we always come back to the question - if we might try and fail, should we not try? We are talking about the U.S. credibility as an international power. People might think: Iran is not going to attack the U.S., so let them create the bomb and if they get nasty we will drop a nuclear bomb on them. That is a logical position. But you cannot remain in the Middle East as a superpower unless you deal with Iran one way or another.”

Canada's Harper government is stepping up sanctions against Iran

to limit its access to uranium and further restrict its nuclear program.

“If Iran goes forward and continues with its constant threat and develops its nuclear capabilities, the consequence is frightening,” Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon said in a press conference Tuesday.

“The consequence of Iran in the Middle East having nuclear capability is something that I don’t think any Canadian nor anybody in the world community wishes to see.”

His announcement comes as the Harper government prepares to play host to the world later this week at the G-8 and G-20 summits.

Obama accepts McChrystal resignation, Iran declares war on northwestern border

June 23, 4:43 PMChristianity & Politics ExaminerElizabeth Delaney

The news that many wondered about was finally made public on Wednesday afternoon. In the face of negative remarks that General McChrystal had made about Obama and Vice President Biden in Rolling Stone Magazine, McChrystal offered to resign. Obama was apparently considering two options: accept McChrystal’s resignation or fire him. He chose to accept the resignation, according to www.cnn.com.

News about McChrystal’s remarks broke on Tuesday, and apparently, Ahmadinejad has become quite the good student about not wasting a convenient crisis.

It just so happens that Tuesday evening is when the news broke that Iran has declared war on its northwestern border, according to www.debka.com. The article states that, “Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps men and equipment units are being massed in the Caspian Sea region against what Tehran claims are US and Israeli forces concentrated on army and air bases in Azerbaijan, ready to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Iranian General Mehdi Moini of the Revolutionary Guards mobilization unit said, “The mobilization is due to the presence of American and Israeli forces on the western border. Reinforcements are being dispatched to West Azerbaijan Providence because some western countries are fueling ethnic conflicts to destabilize the situation in the region.”

How interesting that war was declared upon McChrystal’s offer to resign. Obama announced on Wednesday that General David Petraeus will replace McChrystal “as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.”
Afghanistan is on Iran’s eastern border, while the Caspian Sea is on Iran’s northern border.

It bears pointing out that part of Russia also borders the Caspian Sea. On the other side of that area would be the country of Georgia and the Black Sea, with the Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic states to the north – all of which were once a part of the old Soviet Bloc. If one listens closely, one can almost hear the haunting echo of the warning of Georgia’s president about Russia’s desire to retake those areas -- and then some.

Debka file suggested that “The arrival of the USS Harry S. Truman Strike Group in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea” could be one of the developments that set off Iran’s saber rattling.

The Truman would be one of the 11 war ships (along with one Israeli vessel) that the US sent through Egypt’s Suez Canal in response to an Iranian flotilla that was headed to Gaza. The ponderings of the Jewish Rabbis who considered if the flotilla would eventually lead to the Gog-Magog prophecy in chapters 38 and 39 in the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel also seem to be reverberating through the air. It will be interesting to see how all of this develops.

Iran on war alert over "US and Israeli concentrations" in Azerbaijan

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 23, 2010, 1:23 PM (GMT+02:00)

Iran's land forces on the ready

In a rare move, Iran has declared a state of war on its northwestern border, debkafile's military and Iranian sources report. Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps men and equipment units are being massed in the Caspian Sea region against what Tehran claims are US and Israeli forces concentrated on army and air bases in Azerbaijan ready to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.
The announcement came on Tuesday, June 22 from Brig.-Gen Mehdi Moini of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), commander of the forces tasked with "repelling" this American-Israeli offensive. He said: "The mobilization is due to the presence of American and Israeli forces on the western border," adding, "Reinforcements are being dispatched to West Azerbaijan Province because some western countries are fueling ethnic conflicts to destabilize the situation in the region."

In the past, Iranian officials have spoken of US and Israel attacks in general terms. debkafile's Iranian sources note that this is the first time that a specific location was mentioned and large reinforcements dispatched to give the threat substance.

Other Iranian sources report that in the last few days, Israel has secretly transferred a large number of bomber jets to bases in Azerbaijan, via Georgia, and that American special forces are also concentrated in Azerbaijan in preparation for a strike.

No comment has come from Azerbaijan about any of these reports. Iranian Azerbaijan, the destination of the Revolutionary Guards forces reinforcements, borders on Turkey, Iraq and Armenia. Witnesses say long IRGC convoys of tanks, artillery, anti-aircraft units and infantry are seen heading up the main highways to Azerbaijan and then further north to the Caspian Sea.

On Tuesday, June 22, Dr. Uzi Arad, head of Israel's National Security Council and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's closest adviser, said "The latest round of UN Security Council sanctions on Iran is inadequate for thwarting its nuclear progress. A preemptive military strike might eventually be necessary."

debkafile's intelligence and Iranian sources point to three other developments as setting off Iran's war alert:

1. A certain (limited) reinforcement of American and Israeli forces has taken place in Azerbaijan. Neither Washington nor Jerusalem has ever acknowledged a military presence in this country that borders on Iran, but Western intelligence sources say that both keep a wary eye on the goings-on inside Iran from electronic surveillance bases in that country.

2. Iran feels moved to respond to certain US steps: The arrival of the USS Harry S. Truman Strike Group in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea and its war games with France and Israel, which included live-fire bombing practices against targets in Iran.

3. The execution of Abdolmalek Rigi, head of the Sunni Baluchi rebel organization (including the Iranian Baluchis), on June 20 was intended as a deterrent for Iran's other minorities. Instead, they are more restive than ever. Several Azeri breakaway movements operate in Iranian Azerbaijan in combination with their brethren across the border. Tehran decided a substantial buildup in the province would serve as a timely measure against possible upheavals.

[rreeve]

military strikes on Iran's suspected nuclear sites are unlikely to be effective either and might only delay the program (Defense Secretary Robert Gates believes this would probably be by one to three years), and deterrence works with rational actors, but it’s a gamble to rely on it with non-rational actors. This, he hypothesizes, leaves strikes on Iranian infrastructure that is not necessarily related to its nuclear program.

Hang on a minuet guys! haven't you noticed this.

I'm confused! So America want to stop Iran from developing Nuclear weapons and the option to have, "military strikes on Iran's suspected nuclear sites are unlikely to be effective" yet he concluded "This leaves strikes on Iranian infrastructure that is not necessarily related to its nuclear program"

In other words bomb civilians instead of potential nuclear sites!


Huh! so he wants to stop nukes but he don't think bombing nuke sites would be effective. Why not? Does he know they haven't got any Nuclear weapons? or could it be he wants to target civilians? This is what it sounds like to me. how else can he come to this odd conclusion.

I agree, any strike is unlikely to be effective because they don't have nuclear bombs. Everyone with half a brain cell knows THEY WANT NUCLEAR POWER NOT NUCLEAR WEAPONS and they have been very open and honest about this but each time America say, "it's not good enough". The USA are literally being the school bully again because they want to get rid of Iran as it lies bang smack in the middle of their current occupations. AGAIN, like with Sadam Hussain, Iran do not have an Nuclear WMD's and the US know this, America just want totally dominance over the middle east and Iran is the only country thats getting in their way. All you American citizens reading this, you all need to get on the streets and make it known that you won't tolerate another invasion because it's no good doing it after the strikes have happened and the troops are on the ground. By then it's too late. Iran will NEVER back down or roll over like Iraq and Afghan, they have REAL armed forces and any strikes against them and Iran will definitely consider it a declaration of war and rightly so.

If you think a lot of troops have died in Iraq and Afghan, you haven't seen nothing yet. The death figures in Iran will treble the total deaths from both Iraq and Afghan within a month no problem. I'm actually starting to suspect the US government are seriously thinking of using an Iran invasion as a tactic to de-populate. If so, you should expect expect compulsory conscription for all 18-40 to be enforced soon after they attack Iran because theirs no way your troops can stretch this thin across three different territories and still be a force to be reckoned with.

Crazy times are coming back again. We're gonna all end up old people taking about war times to our grand kids.

[velma]

"....strikes on Iranian infrastructure that is not necessarily related to its nuclear program."

This is a repetition of the cowardly hit and run, 'shock & awe' tactic used against Iraq and will result in much 'collateral damage.'

The Israeli's sound desperate to initiate WWIII on a fabricated pretext and they are bullying the USA into instigating it on their behalf.

"The clock is ticking....time is running out....a small window of opportunity....the hour is late.... blah....blah....blah...."

How did we come to this, where a nuclear-armed superpower can pre-emptively strike a non-nuclear country, as a deterent?

Pakistan to go ahead with Iran gas deal
Thu, 24 Jun 2010 06:20:38 GMT

Pakistan has brushed aside the unilateral US sanctions against Iran, saying it will go ahead with the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project as planned.

"We could start the project as soon as possible to meet the energy crisis which the country faces," a Press TV correspondent reported Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit as saying on Wednesday.

Basit added that measures were underway by the Pakistani government to start implementing the multi-billion-dollar contract on the import of natural gas from Iran in 2014.

The comments come days after Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi announced the sealing of a deal between Islamabad and Tehran in view of Pakistan's growing energy needs.

"This agreement is in the interest of Pakistan and it will only see its interests and the international laws…… the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline agreement will not come under the ambit of the sanctions on Tehran," Qureshi said on Monday.

Earlier in the week, the US special envoy to Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, warned Pakistan not to "over-commit" itself to the deal as it comes in violation of new US-adopted sanctions against the Islamic Republic which target the Iranian energy sector.

Iran, however, has completed the construction of more than a third of the 2,600-kilometer gas pipeline, which is estimated to cost $7 billion.

Under the deal, Iran will supply its southeastern neighbor with 760 million cubic feet (21.5 million cubic meters) of gas per day, which amounts to 20 percent of the recipient's demands.

87 US senators support Israel against Iran


Lawmakers tell Obama that supporting Israel against its foes is in US 'national interest'.


WASHINGTON - Eighty-seven of the US Senate's 100 members have voiced support for Israel's right to "self-defense" against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, the Senate said Wednesday.

The lawmakers wrote in a letter to President Barack Obama that they "fully support Israel’s right to self-defense."

In response to rocket attacks on Israel from Hamas in Gaza, "Israel took steps to prevent items which could be used to support these attacks from reaching Gaza," they said, referring to Israel's four-year naval blockade of the Palestinian territory.

Israel last week announced it was easing its siege to allow all strictly "civilian" goods into Gaza, after a crisis exploded when Israeli forces killed nine activists during a May 31 raid on a flotilla of aid ships attempting to run the blockade.

The lawmakers, from both sides of the political aisle, also stressed that "it is our national interest to support Israel at a moment when Israel faces multiple threats from Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the current regime in Iran."

The lawmakers brought particular attention to the Turkish Muslim charity involved with organizing the aid flotilla, and urged Obama to consider branding the IHH -- the acronym for the Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation -- as a "terrorist" organization, as Israel did earlier this month.

They also commended Obama for the action he took "to prevent the adoption of an unfair United Nations Security Council resolution (about the deadly raid) which would have represented a rush to judgment by the international community."

A UN Security Council statement condemned the attack, but fell short of a call for an independent investigation, with the United States backing an Israeli probe.

Human rights groups, both international and Israeli, slammed Israel’s siege of Gaza, branding it “collective punishment.”

Gaza is still considered under illegal Israeli occupation, along with the rest of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Israel also currently occupies the Lebanese Shabaa Farms and the Syrian Golan Heights.

Iranian president : 'Israel too weak to attack Iran'

The Iranian president has warned the Zionist regime of Israel against any potential military action against Iran, saying Tel Aviv is not capable of doing so.

Iranian president :

Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA.ir), The Iranian president has warned the Zionist regime of Israel against any potential military action against Iran, saying Tel Aviv is not capable of doing so.

"The Zionist regime is too weak to launch aggression against Iran. They long to deal a blow to Iran, but wouldn't dare even think about it", Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted by IRNA as saying in an interview with Turkey's ATV network.

"They all know that playing with Iran is like playing with a lion", added President Ahmadinejad.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the president underlined the Israeli attack on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla was the most despicable act the Zionist regime could have done.

"Today, world nations are all ears to hear what freedom-seeking peoples are saying", President Ahmadinejad further said.

"Fortunately, freedom-seeking and justice-seeking nations reacted to the Zionist regime's brutal actions, and we hope protests to the occupying regime will continue", added the president.

He underlined the Gaza siege should be lifted as soon as possible.

President Ahmadinejad then said the enemy's infiltration into the region and other parts of the world has made complete unity among nations hard to achieve.

In another part of his interview with the Turkish network, President Ahmadinejad described the Tehran Declaration as a historic one, adding today it has turned into a yardstick against which to measure world countries' compliance with the law.

"If Western countries opt to follow the same course they have already taken, a nuclear fuel swap will be pointless", highlighted President Ahmadinejad.

He said Tehran will continue to work towards dialog and peaceful relations.

Report: IAF helicopters unload equipment 'meant for attacking a Muslim state' at Saudi airport

Helicopters landed at a Saudi airport and unloaded equipment intended for attacking targets in a Muslim state, semi-official news agency reports.

A semi-official Iranian news agency reported Wednesday that Israel Air Force helicopters recently landed at a Saudi Arabia airport and unloaded equipment intended for attacking targets in a Muslim state.


This follows last weekend's reports of an American fleet passing through the Suez Canal, triggering fears that the United States and Israel were preparing for an attack on Iran, with Egypt's cooperation, the Arabic language newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi said.

The Israeli aircraft reportedly landed at Tabuk Airport on June 18 and 19 and that the Saudi airport canceled numerous flights to enable the Israeli aircraft landing, the FARS agency said in an unconfirmed report titled "Suspicious military activity of the Zionist regime in Saudi Arabia."

The agency quoted a Saudi passenger as saying the aviation authorities canceled a flight scheduled to take off from Tabuk Airport without giving any reason.

The U.K. daily The Times reported some 10 days ago that Saudi Arabia had agreed to open its air space to Israeli aircraft as part of preparations for a possible attack on Iran. The report claimed the Saudi air force had begun training to enable safe passage for the Israeli planes, thus shortening the flight time to the Persian Gulf considerably.

Israel did not comment on this report, but Saudi Arabia firmly denied having agreed to such a move.

Arab news sites reported Wednesday that following the flotilla affair, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has canceled a number of agreements for military cooperation with Israel, including one enabling IAF training in Turkish air space. According to the reports, Israel was planning, under this agreement, to fly to Georgia and from there to continue toward Iran.

Over the weekend Egyptian sources said that an American fleet consisting of 11 frigates and an aircraft carrier, believed to be the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman, crossed the Suez Canal from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.

The report, which appeared on Friday in Al-Quds, said commercial boat traffic in the canal had been suspended for several hours to enable the American fleet to pass. Eyewitnesses were quoted as saying the fleet also included an Israeli frigate. The report also alleged that thousands of Egyptian soldiers were deployed along the Suez Canal to guard the ships' passage while two Egyptian fighter helicopters circled above.

Some reports said the fleet was on its way to the Persian Gulf, presumably as part of the efforts to implement the sanctions against Iran and supervise the ships going to and from Iran.

Al-Quds said that following the American fleet's passing through the Suez Canal, Egyptian opposition lawmakers warned the government not to repeat the mistake of opening the canal for American ships to attack Iraq. They also reportedly warned the government not to cooperate with the United States and Israel, saying the Arab and Muslim world will not take it lying down this time.

Iran-US-Israel drama goes into Act II

Dr. Bhaskar 
Balakrishnan (Middle East)

25 June 2010
Two weeks ago, the UN Security Council, in a divided vote adopted Resolution 1929 imposing fresh sanctions on Iran.

Turkey and Brazil voted against while Lebanon abstained in the 15 member Council. The US and its allies lobbied hard for the sanctions, making concessions in order to bring Russia and China on board.

The move followed months of futile efforts to reach a negotiated settlement between Iran and the P5 plus Germany over the nuclear issue. The last minute agreement brokered by Turkey and Brazil for Iran to hand over 1200 kg of low enriched uranium failed to satisfy the US.

As expected, Iran has dismissed the Security Council resolution as illegal, and declared its intention to continue with its nuclear programme. Meanwhile, the US Congress has drafted a tougher sanctions package, which would affect third country companies supplying petrol or engaging in financial transactions with Iran. President Obama seems to have little choice but to approve it. The EU has adopted its own version of tighter sanctions against Iran. On the military front, Israel on June 22 launched a sixth spy satellite Ofek-9 specifically to focus of Iran. It has a more advanced camera with a resolution of 0.5 metres.

A major military exercise took place off the Mediterranean coast on June 6-10, involving US aircraft carrier Truman and associated strike group and German and Israeli ships. The exercise Juniper Stallion 10 involved practice bombing runs by US and Israeli aircraft, as well as Israeli anti missile defences is significant in relation to speculation about a possible military strike against Iran.

The USS Truman battle group has since transited Suez on 18 June, headed for the Arabian Gulf to join the USS Eisenhower battle group already there.

Iran has declared a state of alert on June 22, on its northwestern borders alleging that US and Israeli forces have concentrated in Azerbaijan ready to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities. Iranian sources claim that Israel has secretly transferred a large number of bomber jets to bases in Azerbaijan, via Georgia, and that American Special Forces are also concentrated in Azerbaijan in preparation for a strike.

Dr. Uri Arad, a top adviser to Prime Minister Netanyahu said on June 22 that a pre-emptive military strike against Iran may “eventually” be necessary. On June 17, US Defence Secretary Robert gates told US Senators that Iran could fire salvoes of hundreds of missiles against targets in Europe, and argued in favour of stronger missile defence systems in Europe, despite Russian objections. Israeli commentators have pointed out that this could mean a far larger threat to Israel, taking into account the presence of large numbers of shorter range missiles with Syria and the Hezbollah in Lebanon.

US sources indicated that senior Al Qaeda operatives such as Saif al-Adel, living in Iran had been allowed to leave the country through Syria to orchestrate terrorist attacks on American targets. These reports seem aimed at further tarnishing the Iranian regime and portraying it as a supporter of international terrorism.

All these developments point to a situation of increasing tension in the region. A small incident could trigger off a larger conflagration. It is likely that Iran may resort to buying its needs of petrol through companies in third countries having no business operation involving the US.

It would be legally difficult to for third countries to apply restrictions on companies that wish to supply petrol to Iran, in the absence of any UNSC ban on such trade. However, the US government is likely to put pressure on countries to try and stop such indirect trade. As the Iran-US-Israel drama moves into its second Act, countries in the region should be ready to face unpleasant consequences of heightened tensions and conflict.

Those firms that supply Iran's Revolutionary Guards or contribute to the country's energy industry are targeted by the proposed new law.

The sanctions are designed to put pressure on Tehran over what the US says is its nuclear weapons programme.

Iran denies trying to build an atomic bomb and says its nuclear industry is for peaceful purposes.

The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on the bill which, if it clears that hurdle, will be sent to President Barack Obama to sign into law.
