PORLAMAR, Venezuela – Venezuela's science and technology minister said his country is working with Russia to detect deposits of uranium but withdrew an earlier denial that the country was also working with Iran.
Jesse Chacon originally denied the reports that Venezuela is receiving support from Iran to seek uranium, but clarified later Saturday that his comments were only in regard to Russia and that exploration efforts with Iran fall under the direction of Venezuela's Mining Ministry.
Mining Minister Rodolfo Sanz said Friday Iran is helping Venezuela to detect uranium deposits and that initial evaluations suggest reserves are significant. His announcement was made the same day world leaders criticized the Islamic republic for secretly building a uranium-enrichment plant that could be used to make an atomic bomb.
Sanz declined to respond to reporters when questioned Saturday about Chacon's remarks. President Hugo Chavez said only that Venezuela "has a lot of uranium."
Asked about how Venezuela will use its uranium reserves, Chacon said that they would be exploited to develop "nuclear energy for medicinal purposes, for peaceful purposes."

Sure. Baby Huey needs medicinal nukes.
Dear Lord. I’m not so worried about their supplying uranium to Iran, since Iran will get that one way or another with the oil money they are willing to spend on their program. What I am worried about, is how long it will take Venezuela to set up their own “peaceful” nuclear program (with Russian assistance no doubt) once local supplies of uranium are secured. Chavez is looking to become a regional power where Castro failed. The military posturing towards Columbia, intervention in domestic Honduran politics, and now this first step towards securing a nuclear “trump card” spell it out pretty clearly.
We should some how arrange for Hugo to have an unfortunate accident.
Anyone want to explain to the morons in America that Russia is not our friend, and never will be?
This illustrates why.
But, that’d be too much like expecting the evilphiles to admit that there are people who hate us for existing.
This is the possible end result: Pripyats across Venezuela.
don,t you know world trade wto come first
Ah yes, how stupid of me.
*chuckle*
