Of course it's "irreversible" in the eyes of Ahmadinejad.
If it wasn't, then his little bitty pride might be hurt and he'd cry himself to sleep at night dreaming of those "big bad Americans".
Then you have the little bit of Russian's and their "secret message" to the Iranian's, which has just now been denied.
Why it took so long to deny it is anyone's guess, but if Russia wants diplomacy to work like it says it does, then it had better start prodding it's ally Iran into getting into the negotiation room.
Iran claims to have 3,000 centrifuges running and by some estimates, that'll make about 1 bomb per year. Let's not forget that Pakistan had about 3,000 centrifuges going for it when it made it's own atomic weapon in the 90's according to Nuclear Engineer Whitney Haas.
Time is running out very quickly, and if Russia truly wants to see this end peacefully, they had better get on the ball quickly and back sanctions. Even though previous sanctions said that Iran must stop enrichment otherwise further sanctions would come into play, China and Russia seem to be trying to back out of that deal.
Some analysts have speculated that Putin could be seeking to use Moscow's influence with Tehran to secure assurances from Washington over U.S. plans to deploy a missile defense shield in Europe and the future of Serbia's Kosovo province.
That's entirely possible, even likely. However, for us to back off of the missile shield, then Iran's nuclear facilities must be shut down completely, not just go ahead and be subjected to UN weapon's inspectors.
