Two nations on the United Nations Security Council that voted for increased sanctions against Iran over its nuclear enrichment program may be conceding that the Islamic republic’s potential to make nuclear weapons is inevitable, according to a report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

They are Russia and the United States.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has expressed the possibility by saying that a "wave" of other nations in the Gulf region also would seek nuclear weapons if Iran were to acquire them. He made the veiled concession in a Wall Street Journal interview.

The comments followed by only a few weeks statements from the Obama administration that Iran’s development of nuclear weapons is likely.

Although Medvedev didn’t say so, he implied opposition to any military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Medvedev’s implicit concession followed revelations in a secret document by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates earlier this year conceding Iran already has the technical know-how to build all the components needed to make a nuclear weapon.

All that the Islamic republic needs to do is sufficiently enrich uranium to make a nuclear bomb.

Gates’ admission was followed by comments by U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Michael Mullen, who conceded a "military option" against Iran’s nuclear facilities would have "limited results."
