IRAN AND NUKES CONTINUED 12/23/06

Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, rejected the U.N. Security Council's demands that Iran cease her uranium enrichment program and the threat of economic sanctions which were just voted in today. He said that the U.N. Security Council is "deteriorating in power." It was reiterated that Iran's nuclear program is related to the provision of energy rather than to the manufacturing of bombs. The sanctions fall short of any threat of military action. Russia and mainland China also agreed to uphold them even though they have economic interests in Iran.

Iran has repeatedly refused to back down on this issue, as expected.

radical sapphoq says: We need to prepare ourselves for a world where Iran does have nuclear capacity. We are fools if we believe what the Iranian government is telling us.
