Iran, defying United Nations, opens plant for producing heavy water
KHONDAB, Iran (AP) — Iran inaugurated a heavy-water plant Saturday, expanding its nuclear program only days before a U.N. deadline that threatens sanctions unless Tehran curbs activities the West fears are meant to make atomic weapons.
The move was the latest defiance by Iran to concerns expressed by the U.N. Security Council. Hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad shrugged off the possibility of sanctions, insisting his country would not slow its nuclear ambitions.
"We tell the Western countries not to cause trouble for themselves because Iranian people are determined to make progress and acquire technology," Ahmadinejad said after opening the plant.
Worthy commentary: ,
I really don't see an unsolvable problem here. Step 1 is for George Bush to grow a pair. Step 2 is even more obvious. So, what are we waiting for?
