Iran is resuming enriching uranium today
Iran says that it is going to break UN seals on a nuclear plant today and resume work enriching uranium that the West fears could help it to build an atom bomb.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Authority, the UN nuclear watchdog, begged Tehran not to carry out its threat, for fear of jeopardising negotiations that have dragged on for two years.
Iran’s announcement was a setback to efforts by Britain, Germany and France, which have been negotiating with Tehran in an attempt to persuade Iran to drop its enrichment program in return for incentives.
The three European countries have been trying to mediate between the United States, which insists Iran is trying to produce nuclear weapons, and the Islamic Republic, which says it has a right to develop peaceful atomic technology.
"Iran sent a letter to the IAEA. Iran is to remove the seals today," Supreme National Security Council spokesman Ali Aghamohammadi told reporters.
It's no surprise that they are breaking the UN sanctions. You watch, in the near future it will be for power then soon after for builing an atomic bomb.

Here's hoping Israel does what they did to Iraq's nuclear program...
Iran has declared that it will resume nuclear conversion at Esfahan within one or two days. Europe has requested an emergency meeting of the IAEA to pressure Iran not to resume nuclear fuel cycle work. Israel is pressuring Ukraine to demand from Iran the 12 nuclear-capable X-55 cruise missiles that were smuggled there four years ago.
All of this is happening as the talks with North Korea are drawing to a crucial, and so far unpredictable, end.
So is World War III imminent? Hardly.
Over reaction is exactly what these unlikely allies are fishing for. The coincidence of declared threats by both countries is a bit too convenient. By cranking the nuclear threat pressure simultaneously, both North Korea and Iran are hoping to walk away with the most handouts.
