The Middle East Media Research Insitute reports:

The Iranian news service Al-Borz, which is known to have access to sources in the Iranian government, predicted that on the first anniversary of Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s government, in late August 2006, Ahmadinejad is expected to announce what the news service called Iran’s “nuclear birth.”

“The intelligence community is dedicated to predicting the least dangerous world possible,” he said.
