Days after a new resolution by the UN nuclear watchdog called on Iran to halt the construction of its Fordo enrichment plant, the Iranian government tasks the Atomic Energy Organization (AEO) with building ten more nuclear enrichment sites.

According to the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the AEO should begin the construction of five of the requested enrichment facilities over the next two months.

Upon the Iranian government's request, the organization should also propose locations for the remaining five enrichment plants within a two-month period.

According to the report published on the Iranian president's website, the request for the construction of the new sites comes as the Iranian government is expected to provide the country's power plants with 20,000 megawatts of electricity for domestic use.

The decision, which was made during a Sunday cabinet meeting, comes as President Ahmadinejad argued that the country is in need of 500,000 centrifuges for generating the cited amount of electricity.

The requested nuclear sites are expected to be as large as Iran's enrichment facility in the central city of Natanz.

While you are being investigated for a crime then do you go out bar hopping and get drunk on streets?!!!

Which crime? do you call having nuclear technology a crime? Even if Iran was openly seeking to build nuclear bomb even then countries like USA who themselves have stockpiles of atomic bombs have no right to question Iran.


This news only shows Iran is not a push-over when its rights are concerned. No one can tell Iranians what to do or what not to do. What Iran is doing is legal, is under international laws and if pushed more Iran may even get out of NPT.

Iran Majlis warns West to drop carrot, stick policy

Iran's Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani warns world powers not to force Tehran into scaling down its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“If you keep up this ludicrous carrot and stick policy, Iran will make 'new arrangements' in its interaction with the Agency,” Larijani said in a parliamentary address on Sunday.

“The resolution passed by the Board of Governors shows that we must be more alert when considering their proposals. This motion shows that they had no intention whatsoever to negotiate a solution but were engaged in 'political chicanery',” he added.

Larijani advised the US and other members of the P5+1 (permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) not to assume that these “worn-out games” would give them a fresh opportunity to bargain with Iran.

The Iranian speaker's comments came two days after the IAEA passed a new resolution that calls on Iran to halt the construction of its Fordo enrichment plant, located to the southwest of Tehran.

The developments come as some Western powers, spearheaded by the US, have been pressuring Iran to accept an inflexible nuclear draft deal which wants Iran's Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) to be shipped out of the country for further enrichment and return to Iran to be used in Tehran research reactor.

Iranian officials rejected the UN proposal, first floated by the administration of US President Barack Obama, saying there are no guarantees that the country would in fact receive the fuel it requires.

Tehran says it is ready to accept the nuclear swap if it takes place within its own borders.

Ironically, the resolution follows a recent IAEA report, which for the twenty-first time confirms the non-diversion of Iran's nuclear program.

The report also says that Iran had allowed the Agency to carry out a full inspection of its under-construction Fordo uranium enrichment facility.

After IAEA inspectors carried out inspections at the facility, IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei affirmed Iran's pervious declarations by announcing that the watchdog found "nothing to worry about" regarding the site.

Even though the statement was positive, the Friday resolution did not go down well in Tehran where reports circulated that Iran's Parliament (Majlis) was preparing to discuss the move and its impact on future cooperation with the nuclear watchdog.

Rafsanjani: Give us N-fuel or we will produce it

Magnus Werndstedt (L) and Ali-Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani (R)


The chairman of Iran's Expediency Council says Tehran will continue its nuclear enrichment program if the West does not provide the Islamic Republic with nuclear fuel.

Ali-Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani said that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is responsible for providing the necessary enriched uranium for the Tehran Research Reactor.

"If the US and the West go on with the same policy toward Iran, Tehran will continue its peaceful enrichment program within the legal frameworks," Mehr news agency quoted Rafsanjani as saying.

"The West and the US are well aware that the Islamic Republic of Iran has no interest in developing nuclear weapons and records of Iran's behavior prove that," Rafsanaji said in a meeting with the Swedish Ambassador to Iran Magnus Werndstedt on Wednesday.

"Any fair-minded country, including Iran which is aware of the mass killing and destruction caused by the US nuclear attacks on Nagasaki and Hiroshima will hate nuclear weapons," he stated.

"Before the Islamic Revolution, the West and the US volunteered to build nuclear plants in Iran and this was because of the Shah regime's obedience to them," he noted.

"The US and the West try to control Iran because of its huge energy resources and geographical location, but the Iranian nation who has an old civilization and religious beliefs will not accept dependence and being subordinated again," Rafsanjani said.

He added that the fact that the West and the US are silent about Israel's nuclear weapons shows that they only pretend to be supporters of peace and security.

I think you are clever enough to know that this "nuclear" issue is just an excuse for the West to Isolate Iran and remove the regime. Even if today Iran says that we close all our plants, the next day they will find something else to accuse Iran with.

By the way its not only the "ESLAAM NAAB MOHAMADI", any Iranian with an ounce of gheyrat and pride should not accept this kind of treatment from the west.

Iran, to produce own nuclear fuel if needed—cleric

Agence France-Presse
11/28/2009

Filed Under: Nuclear Policies, Nuclear power
TEHRAN-- Iran will produce its own fuel for a medical research reactor in Tehran if it is not made available by the UN atomic watchdog, a senior hardline cleric said on Saturday.
Ahmad Khatami, speaking at a Tehran University prayer service to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, also warned world powers that Iran would not be swayed by "bribery" or cowed by threats from its rights to nuclear technology.
He was responding to a resolution adopted on Friday by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) demanding that Iran halt construction of a new uranium enrichment facility.
Uranium enrichment is the process used to make fuel for nuclear power plants, but when extended it can also produce fissile material for an atomic bomb.
Western powers have long suspected that Iran, despite its fierce denials, is trying to build a nuclear bomb.
Khatami deemed the resolution to be "completely political and not technical in nature," but did not discuss the substance of it.
Addressing the IAEA, he said "it is your obligation, under the law, to provide fuel for the Tehran reactor.
"If you did this, the issue would be closed. If you do not cooperate you should know that the nation ... which achieved its rights to technology will also provide fuel for its reactor. It is legal and in accordance with international safeguards."
The IAEA had brokered a deal under which Russia would lead a consortium that would enrich uranium for the Tehran reactor.
Iran, however, has rejected the deal, which would have involved it shipping low-enriched uranium abroad and receiving a more highly enriched version in exchange.
The IAEA has also rebuffed a counterproposal under which the exchange would take place on Iranian soil.
Khatami, who did not specifically address the specifics of the IAEA resolution, said "Islamic Iran has shown to the world over the past 30 years that it will not back down even an inch, whether in regard to its absolute rights or in the face of threats or bribery.
He added, without elaborating: "Of course, Iran will have the option to confront you.

Disappointingly hypocritical Arash jaan. Was it not you who said today in another thread: "grow up, not all people think like you, try to learn and respect people who have a other and different idea/opinion/ideology then you". I believe your advice pertains more to yourself than IZ. As I explained in that thread his comments was not at all direspectful or distatsteful. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about your comment.

And your praise for REZA's response is quite misplaced. The US administration officials are not running around calling for the destruction of X and Y country, their audience is not screaming "down with" X and Y from the bottom of their lungs and people on the streets of the US aren't getting shot for their universal right to assemble and express themselves. Owning a gun may not be a crime, but knowingly and willingly giving a psychopath murderer who has comitted murder before, a gun to commit another act of volence is a crime. Iran neither has an operational nuclear plant to require fuel for it, nor will it need nuclear fuel for at least 10 years after Bushehr goes online as the fuel is being supplied by the Russians. There is only one purpose for Iran's nuclear program and its more death and destruction, most of which will unfortunately end up being on the Iranian side.

 

[reza+]

politics aside ... iran has every right to have an independent nuclear energy policy .... this means having the capability to produce fuel ... and all else ... if other countries manage to stop iran from its basic rights... what next then?

it would, of course, help if the iri gov tried to win the hearts and minds of all segments of the iranian population - this would immensely help it in its (our) nuclear policy/cause

 

[Bi-honar]

The fact of the matter is Reza+ that nuclear technology produces cheap electricity in the long run in the countries who have the know-how to build and maintain nuclear plants. It is a thing of the past and sitting on the world's 2nd largest gas reserves, Iran is in a much better position to produce cleaner electricity using simpler technology with its vast resources. Bio-fuel and other forms of clean energy are the way of the future, but like many other things, the IR is stuck at least 50 years behind the rest of the world. Their insistence on nuclear energy is just a front to a more sinister agenda - have no doubt about that.

 

[R_E_Z_A]

....... The US administration officials are not running around calling for the destruction of X and Y country,......

Are you serious?!! Where have you been in the past 5 years? or past 10 years, no wait past 20 years, no wait this whole century !

US administration not only have been calling destruction of other countries but they have actually being destroying other countries. They still doing it. US has waged more destructive wars than all other countries around the world put together. US has vetoed all resolution to help WIPE out a country (Palestine). Go to any current world map and see if you can find a country called Palestine. Go talk to some Iraqis, Afgans, Vietnamese, Cubans, Serbians.

Iran:
1) How many countries Iran has attacked in the past 100 years?
2) how many occupied?
3) how many Iran has military base in?
4) how many Iranian soldiers are based outside its borders?
5) how many nuclear bombs Iran has? if any how many used against people?
6) how many wars Iran has been involved in past 100 years?

USA
1) How many countries US has attacked in the past 100 years?
2) how many occupied?
3) how many US military base abroad?
4) how many US soldiers are based outside its borders?
5) how many nuclear bombs US has? if any how many used against people?
6) how many wars US has been involved in past 100 years?

A high school students should give you these answers and how embarresing that would be?!

Any Iranian with an ounce of respect should not accept rape, torture and murder of their hamvatans...specially if it is coming from inside and not the WEST!
