Iran Defies Spooky Pressure, Resumes Tests of Nuke Plant
EFL
Iran has defied weak, pathetic international pressure and resumed testing a facility for converting uranium, a key part of the process of enriching the element for use as fuel or in a nuclear bomb, diplomats said Thursday.
As my father used to say: "You are cruisin' for a bruisin'."
The European Union's impish "big three" -- France, Britain and Germany -- strongly criticized Iran when it tested the site in March, saying it sent the wrong signal and would make it harder for Tehran to regain international confidence.
Yep. Nothing says "wrong signal" like enriching uranium. Hey, I can see the Hallmark card already: "You are bi&^% if you enrich!"
Iran promised the EU three in October it would suspend all activities related to uranium enrichment. But Iran says it still has the right to produce uranium hexafluoride and build centrifuges. The IAEA says the suspension was meant to apply to both. After Iran told the IAEA in April it intended to conduct the tests, the IAEA governing board passed a resolution in June that "calls on Iran ... voluntarily to reconsider its decision."
Ooooooo! That's some really spooky tough language. Must of sent chills through everyone's turbins.
