General James Cartwright last week said that Iran could make a nuclear bomb from enriched Uranium within a year, but it would at least take 5 years to use it as a weapon. He stated that a light US military strike would not halt the march of development in its nuclear sector.

The local news channel came up with a report that, Iran’s military would begin a three day exercise which will include the air, army and navy to test their home built missile capabilities. This is now going to the wrong side according for the US government.

Toyota was already under fire in the US for its handling of massive recalls affecting about eight million vehicles worldwide “more than its entire 2009 global sales of 7.8 million vehicles “due to accelerator trouble.

The latest developments were particularly worrying for Toyota because the Prius has created a global buzz and been Japan’s top-selling car since June “ahead of its main rival, Honda’s Insight.

Toyota had sold nearly 1.5 million Prius vehicles in 40 countries as of August 31 since the first version’s launch in 1997, making it the world’s most popular hybrid car.
