Iran goes further with nuclear plans

Sunday 1st July, 2007 (BigNewsNetwork.com)
Iran has increased its controversial uranium enrichment program, according to the UN atomic envoy.
Ali Asghar Soltanieh says construction work on a heavy water reactor in Arak, in central Iran, is continuing, despite International Atomic Energy Agency calls to halt the work.
The UN Security Council has imposed two sets of sanctions on the Iranian government for its continued refusal to suspend its enrichment program.
Iran says it only wants the process to make nuclear fuel, denying allegations that its program is a cover for a weapons drive.
Mr Soltanieh said the Arak reactor, due to be completed in 2009, would replace a research reactor in Tehran.
Mr Soltanieh says the old reactor was supplied by the U.S and it was calibrated to accept enriched uranium.
Iran is operating more than 1,300 centrifuges for enrichment and could have 3,000 by the end of July.
Under ideal conditions they could produce enough highly enriched uranium to produce a nuclear weapon within a year at most.  Email this story to a friend

The world is Standing by doing nothing against Iran
Attack Iran now. Negotiation won’t work, sanctionS from experience don’t work either when a leader does not care for its people.
The only way to stop Iran is militarily
