Other reports:
American diplomats have been ordered to compile a dossier
detailing Iran's violations of international law that some fear could be used
to justify military strikes against the Islamic republic's nuclear
programme.
Members of the US secretariat in the United Nations were asked earlier this
month to begin "searching for things that Iran has done wrong", The Sunday
Telegraph has learnt.
John Bolton, the former US ambassador to the United Nations, told Tory delegates today that efforts by the UK and the EU to negotiate with Iran had failed and that he saw no alternative to a pre-emptive strike on suspected nuclear facilities in the country.
One of the founding fathers of neoconservatism has privately urged President
George W Bush to bomb Iran rather than allow it to acquire nuclear weapons.
Norman Podhoretz, an intellectual guru of the neoconservative movement who
has joined Rudolph Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign as a senior foreign
policy adviser, held an unpublicised meeting with Bush late last spring at the
Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.
