No Compromise on 20-Percent Enrichment -- Friday Prayers Imam
Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, a Tehran's Friday Prayers Imam, said in his sermons today that Iran will keep its 20-percent uranium enrichment program intactThat's not what the problem is, catamite. It's inspection. If you don't agree to that expect to see your country back in the stone age. Who knows, the 12th Imam might come out of the well and help you. Won't that be fun! "I speak on behalf of the Iranian nation that they will not be held to ransom," the influential senior cleric added. Khatami was referring to a demand by six major powers during the unsuccessful Baghdad Talks that Iran ends its production of the 20-percent nuclear fuel. The subject will be one of the key discussion points in Moscow during the talks in mid-June. Iran enriches uranium to the 20 percent purity to provide fuel for Tehran's Research Reactor, which produces medical isotopes for cancer patients. The country already has a stockpile of the higher level fuel to feed the reactor for the next decade. Posted by: tipper 2012-05-26 |
