n">(Reuters) - the United States, the UK and France enabled the pressure on Tehran on Thursday before next week version of a voltage of expected UN report, which can provide new information on the military side of Iran's nuclear programme.

Washington and its European allies suspect that Iran become the possibility of nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear energy program. Iran denies want nuclear bombs and insists that its program to generate electricity.

The report of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to detailed intelligence on military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme when the stop which explicitly say that Tehran is trying to reveal such weapons.

"A (issue), I would like to mention, in particular the continuing threat of nuclear program of Iran," said President Barack Obama reporter of a heads of State and Government of the G20 Summit in the French town of Cannes.

"The IAEA is intended, a report on Iran's nuclear program next week and (French) (Nicolas) President Sarkozy publish, and I agree on the need, the unprecedented pressure on Iran to perform its obligations,", Obama said.

The United States, European Union and its allies around the world have imposed economic sanctions against Tehran for refusing to stop its uranium enrichment program, which Western powers to believe atomic bomb program is at the heart of a Iran.

The United States and Israel have repeatedly indicated the possible use of force against Iranian nuclear sites, technology-based threats of violent retaliation from the Islamic Republic.

The UN Security Council, the support of the traditional supporters of Iran, Russia, and China, has imposed since 2006 four round always tougher sanctions against Tehran.

In response to a newspaper report that military contingency plans amid mounting concerns about Iran Great Britain was, strengthened a spokesman for the British Foreign Office said on Wednesday that London all options offen-- keep including the possibility of a military operation was.

"We want to be kept a negotiated solution, but all options on the table," a spokesman of the Foreign Ministry said.

READY TO USE "ALL MEANS" TO UNITED STATES

The report in the guardian, without giving a source says, UK Ministry of defence believed that the United States could speed up plans for missile strikes on some key Iranian facilities and quoted British officials say it would seek and receive military assistance from the United Kingdom for each mission.

UN diplomats in New York and Government officials, which exaggerated elsewhere as the guardian report. She said, that Israel would be rather is stuck with military violence against Iranian nuclear facilities as the United States, the conflicts in the Iraq and Afghanistan.

The pressure on the Iran comes weeks after the United States Iran plotting to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador in Washington accused, denied a claim Tehran.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland confirmed that the Obama management the door all the options in the use was not closed with Tehran's nuclear program.

"Many times in the last few weeks and months, said that we are a military confrontation with the Iran striving not", she said.

Nuland, "that is to say, we are all means of available to use, continue to try to meet the international pressure on the Iran to the IAEA obligations and to increase, on its nuclear program," told reporters in Washington.

Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told reporters in the Libyan city of Benghazi that drastic measures against Tehran should avoid Washington.

"We hope that they think twice before putting on a collision course with the Iran," Salehi said.

Diplomats in New York confirmed the West almost a two-track strategy of negotiations to resolve Iran's decades of nuclear confrontation it should refuse cooperation with the West and the threat of further sanctions.

Years of troubled negotiations with Tehran have gone nowhere. Western diplomats say the new IAEA report on the Iran shows what might they have no choice but try sanctions extend regime against Tehran the United Nations.

WOUNDED BEAR

There was a wave of speculation in the Israeli media this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to safe Cabinet working consensus for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Israel bombed Iraqi reactor in 1981 and started a similar sortie against Syria in the year 2007 precedents weight, his veiled threats, similar measures on the Iran if foreign pressure fails, put an end to areas its nuclear program.

But many independent analysts see on such a mission as too much for Israel alone against the Iran too.

A senior Western diplomat said that the international sanctions combined with acts of sabotage such as the Stuxnet computer virus, which temporarily hobbled Iran's enrichment program Tehran's nuclear progress has slowed down to reduce the need for the use of military force anytime soon.

"Our policy of slowing down things was successful, but it has not stopped it in its title" the diplomat said on condition of anonymity.

A RAID on the nuclear facilities of Iran would cause such damage to the global prosperity and security, that other central-a mix of sanctions and sabotage-the lever remains pressure on Tehran, analysts say.

There are fears that Iran an attack could hit back, through demolition temporarily the marine and pipeline arteries delivers a large part of the global oil and gas demand.

Malcolm Chalmers, Research Director of at Britain's Royal United Services Institute, the effects for the attack on Iran described strongly expressed: "you are talking about the create a wounded bear follow with very unpredictable."
