Iran is bolloxed because of the tyranny there, but Israel is a belligerent aggressor, with, I might add, nuclear weapons.

I am just as concerned about Israel's Arsenal as I am about Iran's.
Israel isn't going to use nuclear weapons first. It would be strategically unsound.

And you didn't agree with Gawd at all; he sees no difference between a government rigging an election and shooting a bunch of people when they protest, and an election where nobody gets shot. And he thinks an election where a bunch of people get shot is fine and dandy.

It would be strategically unsound however I've never seen anything remotely strategically sound in the middle east. Human beings are not rational optimisers. Their just chimps with nukes. :smoke:

As opposed to the Jews that prevent Arabs from voting and then murder the Palestinian leaders when Israel doesn't win?

In addition, the report details modifications to the Iranian Shahab-3 missile to permit it to carry a nuclear payload. The Shahab-3 has enough range to reach Israel.

The supposed decommissioning of the program in 2003 in response to the dictates of the religious council that rules Iran appears to have been a sham, with individuals concerned with the missile redesign, with explosives research needed to construct an implosion weapon, with an underground chamber for conducting the research and collecting data, and with increased enhancement of uranium to make the core of an implosion weapon, being transferred to different positions and shielded from further contact with IAEA personnel. There is evidence not only of ongoing research, but of a sophisticated effort to conceal that there is still research.

An early report may be read here. I expect I'll be linking more information in the coming days; first priority is a link to the report itself.
That's not a report it's a news story without citations. Regardless it is hyperbolic bullshit - pure propaganda. They have no evidence.
I'm not going to argue with someone who dismisses evidence. It's a waste of time.
What evidence?
