Psst: Iran's Going Nuclear
The UN is doing a hellva a job:
Iran has injected gas into a new network of centrifuges, Iran's student news agency ISNA reported on Friday, referring to part of an atomic programme the West fears is aimed at making bombs. Uranium UF-6 gas is injected into cylindrical centrifuges which spin at supersonic speeds to produce enriched material. The centrifuges can enrich uranium for making fuel for power plants or for nuclear bombs...
Iran says its nuclear program is solely to meet electricity demands. But it has failed to convince world powers who are threatening United Nations sanctions. Iran now faces possible sanctions for failing to halt its enrichment work, as demanded by the U.N. Security Council. A draft sanctions resolution has been drawn up by European states, but Russia has expressed its misgivings about the proposal.
Oh shut up. No one's going to slap sanctions on them. They're going nuclear, and they're going nuclear soon. And short of military action - which the much-vaunted UN won't allow anyone to do - there's nothing that can stop them. But hey, maybe giving them half of Czechoslovakia will slow them down by a year or two. Although probably not.
