Iran Hints It Could Stop Enrichment at 20%

Iran may agree to negotiate its ongoing enrichment of uranium to higher levels if the West recognizes it has the "right" to do so for peaceful purposes, its foreign ministry spokesman said on Sunday, according to a report by Iranian news agency IRNA. However, another news agency quotes the spokesman differently.

"If Western countries (accept) that our 20 percent enrichment program is peaceful and then ask us not to do it, the Islamic Republic of Iran will think about their demand," Ramin Mehmanparast was quoted by IRNA as saying.

Iran previously rejected the demand to stop higher level enrichment and give up its uranium stockpile in exchange for some inducements, put forward by the so-called P5+1 group of six world powers – Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany.

Nuclear war within 5 years. I think it’s pretty definite. I’m not sure who will use them first.

Are Western “diplomats” foolish enough to fall for such a gambit?

Clearly the mullahs think that they are.

I’m not so sure that it would be wise to bet against it succeeding...

Sure, let’s let them do that and..... then we’ll bomb them back beyond the stone age.

Since 20% is too hot for a reactor, shall we play the what am ye bid all the way to weapons grade? This is how much Islam in pride thinks we are fools. I am beginning to wonder if they are right!

I’m really pissed. If we aren’t bombing these fools right now, I’d like to know what the hell all the tax money I’ve been forced to pay all these years for military spending has been for, or is that just for bombing relatively innocent and harmless people like Serbia and Libya??

I think we ought to give them a taste of our enrichment program.

If you’re not making weapons, there’s no reason to go past 5%.

Thats’ what I thought, If they are willing to stop at 20% that is an admission that they are enriching it for a weapon.

I’ve got an idea which two countries will be hit with them first, just not in what particular order.

Iran’s goal is to talk and delay until they have a bomb.

Talks with them will never be effective without a show of force.

Find the most remote and useless 10 square miles of Iran.

Tell the Iranians where and then tell them exactly when we are going to crater it out. I suggest the 4th of July this year.

Crater it out at the announced time and place.

Sell the air time to Pay per View to help cut the expense.

Show the Iranians that they cannot stop our military.

If we cannot do this, we cannot stop their atomic weaponization. We and the Israelis would then need to get used to a nuclear Iran and get on to containment.

Iran could give a damn about sanctions.

They think they need the bomb to establish the historical legacy of Khomenei and to assume leadership of islam.
