Guess the Obama team now has to worry about Iran’s new nuclear facility. Go figure!
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25—President Obama and the leaders of France and Britain on Friday blasted Iran’s construction of a previously unknown uranium enrichment facility and demanded that Tehran immediately fulfill its obligations under international law or risk the imposition of harsh new sanctions.
I am sure the Iranians will do just that. After all, this time they blasted Iran in anger. It is not more of the same useless talk with nothing to back it up, and I am sure Iran realizes that this time they really, really mean it.
Iran acknowledged the existence of the facility for the first time on Monday, in a letter to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency. The letter said “a new pilot fuel enrichment plant is under construction in the country,” said Marc Vidricaire, a spokesman for the watchdog agency. “The letter stated that the enrichment level would be up to 5 percent.” Vidricaire said the agency responded by asking Iran to quickly provide more specifics about the facility—“to assess safeguards verification requirements.” He said Iran told the IAEA “that no nuclear material has been introduced into the facility.”
Hey, why not take them at their word? Is it because we know they are just kidding when they say the Holocaust never happened and that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the planet that we think they are not being honest now?
Ahmadinejad insisted that Iran is using nuclear technology only for energy and medical purposes and has no interest in acquiring nuclear weapons. He said he wants to buy enriched uranium from the United States that would be used for medical purposes.
Oh, that settles it. Nothing to see here. All is just fine.
