Iran Says It Will Not Suspend Uranium Enrichment


Yeah, I know...what else is new. But the fact of the matter is the Iranians have come out today saying this while the five world powers were just submitting another "incentive" package for the Iranians to halt that very activity. This game has been going on for years now and am I the only one fed up with it? I am at the point where I want to grab the Russians and the Brits AND the Americans around the throat and scream: "They will NEVER EVER stop the enrichment, you fools!" Anyway, here's what the latest asshat from Iran had to say about it all from the Reuters story here:


Iran will not give up its right to enrich uranium, a senior Iranian official said on Saturday, days before major powers submit an upgraded package of incentives to try to coax Tehran into halting the work.
"Suspending enrichment is not negotiable ... Depriving Iran of its right cannot be on offer," Gholamhossein Elham, the government spokesman, told a weekly news conference.

So there is it. The Iranians have a "right" to enrich uranium and build nuclear weapons, just as they have the "right" to wipe Israel off the map? Where do their rights end? Or do they see themselves as rulers of this world?

The World, bowing to the wishes of the Europeans, continues to dangle silly carrots in front of Iran for them to stop nuclear proliferation and the hold time they do this, you can hear the new centrifuges humming away.

Some may ask...why did Iran even put their nuclear plans out in the open? Why didn't they just obscure it and hide it like the Syrians? Well, in my mind, the Iranians WANTED this public faceoff. The Iranians have ALWAYS wanted to put themselves "in the face" of the world. They did it with the American hostages in the 70's, they did it just recently with the British marines and they have been doing it now for three years with their nuclear plans. You see, the Persians are an arrogant bunch. They still feel they have the "right" to own this planet and they seem to think the bloodlines of Xerxes still run through the midget veins of Ahmadinejad.

If the world was a human body, the country of Iran would be a malignant tumor. You would waste no time in excising that tumor, blasting the area with radiation and then commencing a prolonged period of chemo treatment. That is my prescription: Excise the tumor of Iran by a swift and lethal bombing run on their nuke facilities, trade lanes and harbors and their refinery. Blast the areas of the Revolutionary Guard with carpet bombs and target the mullahs and upper regime. Then, when the dust settles you start the follow up treatment of embargos and penalties.


Iran says its right to enrichment is non-negotiable

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran will not give up its right to enrich uranium, a senior Iranian official said on Saturday, days before major powers submit an upgraded package of incentives to try to coax Tehran into halting the work.
"Suspending enrichment is not negotiable ... Depriving Iran of its right cannot be on offer," Gholamhossein Elham, the government spokesman, told a weekly news conference.
Iran has agreed to a visit by EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana to submit the package of incentives, in exchange for a full suspension of uranium enrichment.
The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- the United States, France, Britain, China and Russia -- and Germany, known as the P5+1, offered a package to Iran in 2006 that also required Iran to halt enrichment.
Tehran rejected those proposals and the latest package is an enhanced version.
Elham said no date had been set for Solana's trip. "We have agreed on the trip, but no specific date has been set yet."
A Western diplomat told Reuters Solana was expected to visit Iran on June 14.
Iran has handed over what it calls a "proposed package for constructive negotiations". But it ignores the West's main demand, which is suspending enrichment.
The U.N. Security Council has imposed three sanctions resolutions on Iran for refusing to halt the sensitive activity.
