Iran starts atom tests in defiance of EU deal

Iran has broken the seals on nuclear equipment monitored by United Nations inspectors and is once again building and testing machines that could make fissile material for nuclear weapons.

Teheran’s move, revealed to The Daily Telegraph yesterday by western sources, breaks a deal with European countries under which Iran suspended "all uranium enrichment activity".

It will also exacerbate fears that the regional power is determined to make an atomic bomb within a few years.

Enrichment is the most controversial part of Iran’s "peaceful" nuclear programme because the same technology used to make low-enriched uranium to fuel nuclear reactors can be used to refine material for bombs.

America has in recent weeks renewed its call for Iran to be referred to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions.

However, diplomats said senior officials from the "EU-3" - Britain, France and Germany - would try to coax Teheran back to the path of co-operation at a secret meeting in Paris on Thursday.

#5  If Kerry is re-elected, Iran gets the bomb. No question about. He simply doesn't have the balls to do anything. If Bush gets elected, it'll be bombs away.

So we choose: do we want the certainty of an Iran with nukes or the certainty of war with them and the possibility of ending the mullah's montrous regime.

I'll take war.

#3  So when will the EU learn that, under Islam, it is perfectly ok and encouraged to lie to infidels?

#2  Let's pray to God that Tony Blair learned his lesson about getting in bed with the Weasel powers and what that means.
Remember it was British sailors and Marines that the Iranians captured and tortured.
And it looks as if the EU3 didn't stop the mullahs in the least!
(As if they could without the US behind them.)

#1  No Linky-linky, George.

IF TRUE:
Well whaddya know. Perhaps the EU3 should utter a F**kin Duh in honor of their obvious foolishness in even giving the impression of trusting the Mad Mullahs. But they won't - because their silly-assed pointless sanctions are all they could do about it. Sigh. They should Lead, Follow, or Get The Hell Out Of The Way. EU3. Pfeh. Quit wasting time, schmucks, the Black Hats are already rope-a-dope pros, they don't need your help... unless the EU3 agenda is the destruction of Israel...
