    Well, well. Seems like Brian's ESP is malfunctioning after all.

    It's not his fault, though. You have to twist the aluminum foil in the headgear around very precisely.

    Iran plant 'has restarted its nuclear bomb-making equipment'
    By Con Coughlin, Defence and Security Editor [Telegraph], in Washington
    (Filed: 11/02/2006)


    Iran's controversial Natanz uranium processing plant has successfully restarted the sophisticated equipment that could enable it to produce material for nuclear warheads, according to reports received by Western intelligence.

    [Well any Foley straight out of the bomb-shelter could tell you that this is mere coincidence, designed expressly - I'm guessing, by the evil mind-syncronized embassy-slut Danes, the idolaters - to embarass and offend the peace-loving imams of the peace-loving Iranian religio -]

    In the past few days Iranian nuclear scientists have reportedly restarted four of the centrifuges required to produce weapons-grade uranium, and have begun feeding them with uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas, a key component in the production of nuclear bombs.

    [Oh. But...but surely the IAEA would have caught all this if it were true, no? - Geoff]

    This crucial development follows Iran's decision to withdraw its co-operation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna after the body decided last week to refer Iran to the United Nations Security Council.

    Iranian officials have moved quickly to obstruct the work of the UN nuclear inspectors still working in the country's nuclear facilities.

    Intelligence officials say restrictions have been imposed on the inspectors' movements between the various facilities at Natanz.

    They have been specifically excluded from those areas where the Iranians have announced they would resume uranium enrichment, and have ordered the UN inspectors to report to officials running the plant on a daily basis. Security cameras installed by IAEA officials to monitor key facilities have been disabled.

    [Ohhhh - right. Wow - odd. I mean, why would they do all that? Is there something they don't want the IAEA to see? Hmmm. - Geoff]

    ...

    In previous submissions to the UN inspectors, the Iranians insisted they had acquired the P-2 centrifuges merely for research purposes, They have continued to insist that their nuclear programme is solely aimed at developing alternative energy sources.

    [Oh, well, if they say they're not going to make nuclear weapons-grade material, then of course they're not...except that they restarted four centrifuges and loaded 'em with hexafluoride, a "key component in the production of nuclear bombs." But surely that's all a big misunderstanding. A silly joke, like!

    I mean, knowing how democratic, responsible, humanitarian and rational the Iranian government is, I'm sure they'd never do anything bad. Heck, I hear they even drop a letter down the well to the 12th Hidden Imam before every homosexual hanging or woman-stoning, and so far he's never complained. How much fairer can you get? - Geoff]


    However, a senior Western intelligence official said: "Iran's recent activity is a clear escalation of its attempts to enrich uranium to weapons grade. With the UN inspectors out of the way they are basically free to do as they please."

    [Ohhh those pesky Western intelligence officials...I expect "Happeh theory" probably is in a sufficiently advanced state at this point to be able to prove they're working for the Jews, right, Happeh? Probably they slouch or something, the idolaters. Me, I'm slouching right now, even. - Geoff]

    Misleading headline ,this from 2 days ago from a high ranking Foreign Minister Jack Straw none the less .
    Nobody has yet found any evidence that Iran either has or is producing nuclear weapons.
    Every single step described in the article you provided is consistent with creating fuel for a power station.
    As was the case with Iraq, claims of a nuclear threat to the United States from Iran are totally baseless and a deliberate lie to justify another war of conquest.
