Iran moves toward uranium enrichment
The AP squib reports that Hossein Mousavian, Iran's chief delegate to the International Atomic Energy Agency, has made adamant assurance that Iran's intentions are peaceful. It's for electricity, you see. Three days ago, Iran rejected JFKerry's offer of a nuclear fuel supply, in return for renouncing their enrichment capacity. I guess they'd rather go to the trouble themselves. Wonder why?
This is rather frightening, folks.
Iran has produced "a few tons" of the gas needed to enrich uranium, a top nuclear official said Wednesday, confirming the country has defied international demands and taken a necessary step toward producing nuclear fuel - or nuclear weapons.
Uranium hexafluoride gas is the material that, in the next stage, is fed into centrifuges used to enrich uranium. Uranium enriched to a low level is used to produce nuclear fuel to generate electricity and enriched further can be used to manufacture atomic bomb.
