| Khamenei wants to give Iranian nuclear tech to Sudan |
| 2006-04-26 |
| Iran's supreme leader said Tuesday at a meeting here with the Sudanese president that Iran was ready to share its nuclear technology with other countries. "Iran's nuclear capability is one example of various scientific capabilities in the country," the leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said to President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, the news agency IRNA reported. "The Islamic Republic of Iran is prepared to transfer the experience, knowledge and technology of its scientists." Mr. Khamenei made his comments just days before the Friday deadline set by the United Nations Security Council for Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment. At a conference on Tuesday in Tehran on its nuclear program, senior officials vowed that Iran would continue its enrichment activities. Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, said that in the event of Security Council sanctions, Iran would suspend cooperation with the United Nations nuclear agency. If there is a military strike aimed at destroying its facilities, Iran will simply hide its nuclear program, he added. "You may inflict a loss on us, but you will lose also," he said. Mr. Larijani said Iran was willing to cooperate if its case was returned to the International Atomic Energy Agency, but warned, "Do not expect us to act otherwise if you drag the case to the Security Council." Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a senior cleric and head of the powerful Expediency Council, speaking at the conference, denounced the role of the nuclear agency and said it had failed to support Iran's program. "I am not saying that the agency has had bad intentions," he said. "But it has not fulfilled its duty to support countries to enjoy their right to have nuclear technology." |

| #4 Maybe we aren't looking at this right. Iranian statements seem calculated to draw an attack. Could it be that Khamenei wants to be rid of its nuclear program, but can't due to internal politics? Has anyone asked this guy if he can slip us a map of targets, and times when people won't be there? |
