While Western nations sleep, and prepare for the summer holidays for their pampered leaders, Iran is hard at work.
The centrifuges work day and night enriching uranium to 90% weapons grade in multiple known refineries, and other secret locations not known to inspectors.
The European Union, is still keen to preserve the 2015 deal brokered by former American president Barack Obama, despite it giving Iran carte blanche to carry on with its weapons program under the noses of Western inspectors, as well as paying off the Iranians with a tidy lump sum.
What is going to happen now?
The good news is nothing will happen for a while, however out of the blue, there will come a time when something will happen.
The Tel Aviv skyline will light up, a flash that will sear the retinas of anyone who looks at it. This will be the first attack and it will come from nowhere. Naturally, the Israeli warning system would have been tracking the missile from its source, but the powers that be may allow the attack to be absorbed. This absorption would lead to the loss of many lives, but be seen by the whole world, and would thus justify the return volley destroying much of Iran. The alternative scenario could include a ‘dirty bomb’ planted by an Iranian proxy. If this is the case, then the blame could easily be deflected by the Iranian regime, seeing as Israel has so many enemies.
The obvious drawback of such action is the plume of radioactive material spread across much of the Middle East and surrounding areas.
The Iranians would have succeeded on an attack on Israel, however they will not succeed in obliterating the whole country as they have promised so many times.

Time is running out, and soon it will be too late to do anything about the nuclear threat. The Iranians are ready to act at the nearest opportunity, as the West continues to ignore the imminent threat.
