Iran plays a little Tu Quoque on the international stage. From AP, with thanks to Shinolite:
Iran denounced the United States on Monday for contemplating possible nuclear strikes against Iranian targets and urged the United Nations to take urgent action against what it called a dangerous violation of international law.In a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan obtained by The Associated Press, Iran's U.N. Ambassador Javad Zarif called
President Bush's refusal to rule out a U.S. nuclear strike on Iran and a similar follow-up statement by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice "illegal and insolent threats."
Insolent! How dare they not play the dhimmi before the manifest superiority of the Islamic Republic!
Oh,about our comments about wipeing Isreal off the map,they were just taken out of context.
I believe we're just building it up to launch nukes at Iranian Nuclear power plants. When I say nukes, I'm not talking about a "Fat Man" or "Little Boy" though. I'm talking along the lines of one that go into the ground and then detonate. That way we would be sure that everything has been eliminated.

I do not think we will use bunker buster nukes on Iranian nuclear sites. That was either leaked to scare the Iranians, or just part of a multiscenario planning document that was taken to be the actual plan. Of course when the military makes plans, different options are considered. It does not mean they are inevitable. At least, I hope not. First use of nukes against Iran would be disastrous. I hope their program can be bombed back a decade or more without them.
The UN take action against the US?
Don't they do that EVERYDAY?

I don't think we have any. If we had them I would hope that we would use them. Nuclear weapons are mostly political. Nothing says "Do as I say" like a thermo-nuclear detonation.
Kofi Anonymous is worthless...same with the UN.
Continuous denouncing of Israel with it's retalliation of suicide bombers but harly ever against the Palestinians....Good boy Achmed, you blew up a dozen Jews so you get rivers of wine and virgins galore.
Would Qadaffi care to declare the Dead Sea Scrolls (which still exist) forgeries? Or how about the Arc of the Covenant which also is still in existence?
The burden of proof is on the Muslims who 1-)unfortunately possess zero physical evidence to support ANYTHING they believe in and 2-)are completely unable to check any of their sources.
But all that's beside the point. Muslims will continue to kill and kill and kill and kill and kill innocent human beings in spite of what they can or can't prove.
International law in its current form means very little if anything to member states of the ummah which include the Islamic Republic of Iran. The UN is actually un-Islamic to Muslims unless it is to be used as part of jihad warfare.
So, three guesses what Iran is really up to in this.
As for "dangerous violations of international law", my ass!
Since when is Iran's terror network Hizbollah and its terror acts in keeping with "internaitonal law"????????? Since never-- and Iran's mullahs know it too.
For Hizbollah alone, Iran deserves a thorough nuking!
