| Iran: West Cannot be Trusted With Nuclear Fuel |
| 2010-05-01 |
| A top adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Tehran will never trust the West with its nuclear fuel. Ali Akbar Velayati told the state-run IRNA news agency that efforts to require Iran to send its nuclear fuel to the West to be enriched is proof of their evil intentions. The West might get Juice cooties on their precious uranium, and the djinns won't ever set off a big kaboom if it has Juice cooties ... Earlier this week, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki expressed hope a fuel-swap deal backed by the United Nations could "create multilateral trust." The proposal by the International Atomic Energy Agency calls for Iran to send its uranium to Russia for enrichment. It would then be sent to France, converted into fuel rods and sent back to Iran to power a nuclear reactor. The proposal is aimed at curbing Iran's ability to enrich its own uranium to weapons-grade level. |
