Iran has substantially improved the efficiency of its centrifuges that produce enriched uranium, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Monday, indicating that the nation has overcome some of the technical challenges that had plagued its enrichment program.

In a six-page report, the agency charged the Iranians with continuing to stonewall about what some Western governments suspected was Iran's past research on designing a nuclear weapon. The agency acknowledged that it had failed "to make any substantial progress" in its investigation.

"We seem to be at a dead end," said a senior official with links to the agency. "We would describe it as a gridlock."

Thinking about this whole Iran thing, anyone worried China will take out the panama canal locks? They’ve got vested interests in mideast oil, and they are waiting for a chance to hit our navy. What better way to split the fleet capability and really damage US commerce?

Just thinking like we/Israel make a move on Iran, and while we’re tied up there, they go after Taiwan and to make sure they have a better chance at doing what they want to do, they hit the canal to make things worse for us.
