The seals placed by the UN IAEA on Iran's nuclear conversion plant in Isfahan should be broken by midday tomorrow, a top Iranian nuclear official said.

He said the agency (IAEA)had promised Tehran that the seals placed on the machinery would be lifted 'by Wednesday midday.'

Breaking the seals is the next crucial stage at the plant after Iran resumed uranium conversion activities yesterday, sparking warnings of an international crisis.

I thought the IAEA put the seals there to keep the Iranians from developing nukes, now they obediently take the seals off, because the Iranians want to go ahead?!

I guess Iran is in charge of the IAEA.

Anyone ever seen the "seal" the IAEA puts on these places? They way you read it in the paper and hear it on the news they make it sound like they "seal" the place up. Well, guess what. Thats not what an IAEA seal is or does. It is actually a little medal with a serial number on it, put on an entrance with a little metal wire.

Talk about a "seal"!

Duct tape would be more effective than a UN 'seal.'

I'd bet that SEALS (Navy variety) could break nuclear reactors.

I'll believe that these morons have a bomb when they test one. You have to detonate one to prove you have one that works. If and when that happens, unleash the fury and turn the region into stained glass. Send the bill to Sharon.
