Iran VP: Work To Begin On 2 New Enrichment Sites

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s vice president says the country plans to begin construction on two new uranium enrichment facilities in the next Iranian calendar year, which begins March 21.

Ali Akbar Salehi, who is also the head of Iran’s nuclear program, said Monday Tehran intends to use its more advanced centrifuges at the new sites.

Iran approved plans in November to build 10 industrial scale uranium enrichment facilities, a dramatic expansion of the program in defiance of U.N. demands it halt enrichment.

Tehran produced its first batch of uranium enriched to a higher level earlier this month, prompting the U.S. and its allies to seek new U.N. Security Council sanctions.

The West accuses Iran of seeking to build atomic weapons. Tehran say its nuclear program is peaceful.

    These crazy fks are going to build not just a nuke but hundreds of nukes and they will use them on Israel as they have stated and they will use them on us.

    Why the fk are we sitting around on our ass watching this continue and believing what Iran says about their peaceful purpose for building the enrichment facilities?

    From Iran’s point of view they antagonize America or Israel into conducting a preemptive strike and unify the Arab word to their cause or no one takes action against them for this reason & they do build the bomb and do as they plan anyway.

    So the choice is simple Iran gets what they want (the bomb & to use it) or big bad Israel/US have a PR problem of keeping peaceful Iran down with preemptive strikes.

    Put simpler
    US OR THEM!

    How dumb has our officials become that they lack the logic to make leadership decisions?
