Iran making progress in uranium enrichment: diplomats (Now operating 10-centrifuge cascade)
Agence France Presse | February 24, 2006

Iran is now operating a 10-centrifuge cascade for uranium enrichment as it makes progress on its nuclear program, diplomats told AFP Friday ahead of a key UN nuclear report next week.

The upcoming report from the UN watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) "will confirm that Iran is now running 10 centrifuges" with a feedstock gas used to manufacture enriched uranium, a diplomat said.

Enriched uranium can be fuel for nuclear power reactors or the raw material for atom bombs.

The irony is that if Iran makes it's nukes, the UAE may be one of the first country's nuked by Iran because as long as the UAE is on the other side of that canal, the Iranians will not have full control of that canal.

I've also heard that a rep. of DB World said that they will ship anything, anywhere. Something Sean Hannity found. It's the same old thing, all they care about is the money.

We need to start making progress too, in terms of sending the Iranian jihadist exporting, terrorist tyrants back to the stone age.
