"China and six other world powers offered to help Iran develop a non-military nuclear program if Iran agreed to halt its uranium enrichment program. Saturday Iran said no to the offer."

Russia's offer had already been turned down awhile ago. Iran has also not let in any inspectors.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States do not want a nuclear Iraq.

By the way, if Israel initiates a strike against Iran, Iran is not justified in attacking US interests. I would think Israel could handle Iran on its own, unless Iran blocks the Straits. But then we are into a world situation.

Irans best option, is to accept the worlds offer for peaceful nuclear power.
It faces a catastophe if it doesn't...
