New U.N. Report on Iran Nuke Program Due Tomorrow

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is expected to confirm Iran's rapid progress in advancing its uranium enrichment program in a report due tomorrow.
Iran has a stated goal of installing 3,000 nuclear enrichment centrifuges by early this summer, an important milestone, according to U.S. and European intelligence officials who fear the country could achieve the ability to produce a nuclear weapon within two years.
IAEA inspectors say Iran has begun to feed many of the installed centrifuges with uranium hexafluoride -- the gas that is used to produce enriched uranium.
THE BLOTTER RECOMMENDS
Iran's actions are in direct defiance of the U.N. Security Council, which two months ago unanimously adopted sanctions against a series of Iranian entities, including freezing the assets of one of its largest banks, Bank Sepah.
The U.N. has called on U.N. member states to exercise "vigilance and restraint" in the export of conventional arms to Iran. The resolution also expressly prohibits Iran from exporting arms to other countries.

Every reference to uranium enrichment is connected to a nuclear weapons program.
ABC should be educating folks on the difference between enriching uranium for reactor fuel, which Iran IS allowed to do, and the making of nuclear weapons grade uranium, which it is not.
There is NO weapons program. GET IT ???
That's the conclusion.
The IAEA erred long ago in trying to get Iran to give up its inalienable and sovereign right to enrich uranium.
They have seen the error of their ways.
Right now, the IAEA wants the Iranian dossier returned from the UN Security Council.
At that pooiint, there will be no big whoop about Iran continuing to do something that it has a perfectly legal right to do.
Get over it.
The problem is with nuclear power, not with Iran.
