| Iran 'would share nuke technology' |
| 2006-04-25 |
| IRAN is ready to share its nuclear technology with other countries, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said after talks with the visiting Sudanese president, state television reported. Iran is embroiled in a nuclear standoff with the West, which fears Tehran is secretly developing atomic weapons which could be transferred to terrorist groups or spark an arms race in the Middle East. Iran insists it only wants nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, such as producing electricity. "The nuclear strength of the Iranian scientists is an example of several scientific currents in Iran that are going ahead, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to transfer the experience, science and technology of its scientists," state television quoted Mr Khamenei as saying. He was speaking after talks with visiting Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Iranian lawmaker Kamal Daneshyar, head of Parliament's energy committee, was also quoted in the daily Aftab-e Yazd as saying Iran was prepared to train other Islamic states in skills, such as enriching uranium. "Iranian nuclear scientists can easily train other Islamic countries in uranium enrichment and nuclear fuel production," he was quoted as saying. The United Nations has demanded that the Tehran halt uranium enrichment, which can produce fuel for power stations or, if uranium is enriched to far higher level, material for bombs. Iran says it will continue its enrichment work and will pursue industrial-scale production. The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is due to report to the UN Security Council by Friday on whether Iran is complying with UN demands. |

| #3 This is great so much for the last UN defense of Iran that they would be responsible non-proliferating nuclear nation. Also is it just me or does anyone else find it rather coincidental that right after Bin Laden’s call for Jihadi’s to support Sudan that Iran as the terrorist supporter number one role offered that support? I know Sunni radicals and Shia radicals would never ever help each other all that “my enemies enemy is my friend” logic is just primitive neo-con babble right right? Iran believes their hype about US just way too much. They maybe should go ask some of the former dictators that made the same mistakes believing their own hype about the US, Japan WW2, Saddam, Bin Laden, Hitler, ect…… |
