TEHERAN - Iran has threatened to resume uranium enrichment and revise its agreement to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) if the nuclear dispute is not resolved in line with last October’s agreement, the Mehr news service reported on Sunday.

“Iran will not wait forever to restore its legitimate national right to pursue peaceful nuclear activities,” an unnamed member of the Iranian delegation at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna told Mehr.

“We would not only revise cooperation but also keep the option open to restart uranium enrichment if the IAEA and the Europeans did not fulfill their commitments in line with the October declaration and still continued their double-standard policies toward Iran,” the diplomat added.

How to build 'the bomb' with IAEA assistance.

Time to put the Israeli Air Force on standby.

Sounds like they don't think their candidate is gonna win after all...

Saddam Hussein took the same stance....

This might have the same results.

Forever the optimist, I am.

[John Jorsett]

Oh my gosh. Time for a lengthy series of meetings and policy statements, followed by 27 United Nations resolutions and France saying, "What uranium enrichment? We don't see any uranium enrichment here." The bloody Iranians will reap the UN whirlwind of Serious Consequences for this threat.

JFKerry will resolve this, Iran is on his email list, and he and the Euros/French are of the same mind, no double standard in this bunch.

Global policy established by clintons "EQUALIZE ALL NATIONS"!

Another threat from the regime.
Keep it up, Khamenei. Apparently, you haven't p.o.'d Mr. Bush enough yet.
But you will. And I'm looking forward to that day.

Iran is more of a threat than Iraq was.

We need action.

[San Jacinto]

We need to get this resolved. Maybe if we delivered about 10 lbs. of uranium that has already been enriched to Iran's research and production facilities, the problem would be taken care of. I think we should at least make the offer -- from about 40,000 feet.

[Principled]

revise its agreement to cooperate

Is it only one party to the agreement that can revise the agreement?

“Iran will not wait forever ...

I wonder if they'll wait 12 years and 7 UN resolutions....

This is the barbaric, criminal regime that Kerry wants to endorse him.
