Iran nuclear work 'irreversible'

Iran has said its uranium enrichment work was "irreversible", only days before a UN deadline for it to suspend the programme.

"Iran's uranium enrichment and nuclear research and development activities are irreversible," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said.

Iran announced this month it had enriched uranium for the first time, though this has not been verified.

The West believes it wants to make a nuclear weapon, but Iran denies this.

The United Nations Security Council has called on Iran to halt its uranium enrichment work by the end of this month.

The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is due to submit a report on whether Iran has complied with the UN call.

Mr Asefi told a weekly news conference: "If the report contains expert assessment, there will be nothing left to worry about.

"However, if the report comes out and somehow puts pressure on Iran or speaks with a language of threats, naturally Iran will not abandon its rights and it is prepared for all possible situations and has planned for it."

Iran insists its nuclear programme is purely civilian.

Maybe not reversible, but it can be set back 10,000 years or so.

No need to even send another Neville Chamberlain to negotiate an 'agreement' with this Persian Hitler. Apparently these mullahs are continuing on with their nuclear mission to bring back the Mahdi. What other plausible reason could their be for this lack of even negotiating with their fellow human ? Iran needed oil refineries much more then they needed nuclear power.

During the colonial years it was learned that you never given native whiskey or guns.

Iran is still a backward, semi-primitive country that has not moved ahead in the last 2000 years. They must not be allowed to have any technology that endangers others by their irresponsibility.

Iran is not developing nuclear weapons. Someone is doing it for them. Who is it? Russia, France, Germany? Whoever it is we should stop them.

Without outside help Iran could never develop nukes alone. This is a country without central sewer systems who can't make a horseshoe. Even their mineral wealth must be recovered from the ground by western technology and foreign workers.

Zap Iran's nuke locations one time with one heavy air raid and they are finished.

We are wasting time and getting nothing for it.

Pres. Bush is making a very bad decision by waiting, waiting, waiting on the UN which will do nothing to stop the Mullahs from getting nukes.

No obstacles to Tor-M1 air defense missile deliveries to Iran - Spassky

MOSCOW. April 21 (Interfax) - Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Spassky said that nothing stands in the way of the delivery of Russian Tor-M1 air defense systems to Iran.

"Currently nothing is preventing the fulfillment of our obligations in the area of military and technical cooperation with Iran. This deals with all the agreements made," Spassky told journalists on Friday in Moscow.

"Iran's uranium enrichment and nuclear research and development activities are irreversible,"

Yeah, right. Wanna bet?

One would think that Iran would have been paying better attention to what has been happening right next door in Iraq for the past 3 years. Iran fought Iraq for 8 years to a stalemate. We, on the other hand, reduced Iraq's forces to a quivering mass in a matter of just a few days. Iran just might want to ponder a while on that little factoid......

I think this means that we already have the capability to evade the Tor-M1 air defense missile with close to 100% success.
