See it, It’s coming down! Hold on... ...Here it comes. Wait for it,.....almost there. The UN official in charge of nuclear inspections under the Non Proliferation Treaty will declare Iran “out of compliance” on March 6th.

Mohammed ElBaradei, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency Via Telegraph UK : "We are coming to the litmus test in the next few weeks," he said in an interview in Newsweek magazine.

"Diplomacy has to be backed by pressure and, in extreme cases, by force," he said. "We have rules. We have to do everything possible to uphold the rules through conviction. If not, then you impose them. Of course, this has to be the last resort, but sometimes you have to do it."

He gave Iran seven weeks to answer the IAEA's outstanding questions - including intelligence reports of secret work on nuclear warheads.

If Iran did not comply by March 6, Mr ElBaradei said he would formally declare that his investigation had reached a dead end.

Huh, “Dead End?”. Who would have thought? Reports that if Iran does not comply it will, "Be grounded and sent to bed without supper for a whole year!", were unconfirmed.
