Iran 'resolves' plutonium issue
2007-08-28
Uh huh.
Iran has resolved questions posed by the UN's nuclear watchdog about its plutonium experiments, Tehran says.

The claim was made in a text outlining a timetable for co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which was agreed at talks last week. It would be the first serious issue closed by the IAEA during its four-year inquiry into Iran's nuclear activities. It said the IAEA accepted that "earlier statements made by Iran [on the issue of plutonium] are consistent with the agency's findings, and thus this matter is resolved."

Iran also said it would co-operate on resolving concerns over documents that allegedly show Iran has a secret military project for developing nuclear arms. However, it dismissed the claims as "politically motivated" and "baseless allegations".

Last week, Iran and the IAEA announced that they had agreed a timeline for implementing a plan to clarify Tehran's nuclear programme, first announced in July.

However, US envoy to the IAEA, Gregory Schulte, said the plan had "real limitations" and accused Iran of manipulating the IAEA as a way to avoid harsher sanctions. He said Iran was still defying the UN's key demand for it to halt its uranium enrichment activities and said the US would continue to push for a third round of sanctions.

Style book. You'd have to revise all the AP/APF/NYT/Rooters style books and protocols on reporting the religion of peace, Iran and WoT issues. That would cost money and they don't really have that much anymore.

#3  And by the way, why do they always say the same thing. Same words even, "politically motivated" and "baseless allegations". And the hell of it is that it still works after all this time.

#2  Oh, I forgot, Iran is building a heavy water reactor. Which means that it can run on natural un-enriched uranium, but produces plutonium. So why do they need the enriching stations again?
