I predict nuclear atrocity rather than peaceful resolution, I really do, whether it's Iran, Israel, or both. Or possibly a bit further up, Pakistan (unless we can find one of our own sons-of-bitches to discreetly install). I don't think I've ever felt this pessimistic about the chances of a peaceful resolution in the region as I do now.

No idea about the veracity of this report, but I'm inclined to take it with a huge tablespoon piled high with salt.

I'd never heard of PressTV before. Wikipedia tells me (so this must be true) that its foreign-based correspondents include the likes of Yvonne Ridley, George Galloway, Andrew Gilligan, Tariq Ramadan, Nick Ferrari, James Whale.

Sooo... yes. A motley crew if ever I saw one.
