...attempts at dialogue have proved futile, and because of this, the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) last week voted to report Iran to the United Nations Security Council. Tehran’s ambiguity and unending flip-flops on Russia’s proposal to enrich uranium outside Iranian territory, as well as its destruction of the United Nations protective seals on enrichment facilities in sites like Natanz, have rightly put the world on alert. The Guardian Council that runs Iran does not represent the interests or desires of the Iranian people, and its ever-escalating rhetoric presents an unacceptable threat...
...trade both in goods and in brains, keeping out those wily foreigners who come here to learn our secrets and take them home. Of course, some do. They always have, but the majority are seduced by the openness, tolerance and energy of America and stay here to enrich...
...nuclear reactor or fissile material for a bomb. In short, it's scary stuff, which is why the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confronted Iran late last month about a secret Iranian research effort called the Green Salt Project. Iran has long maintained that it wants to enrich uranium to generate nuclear power, not to make a bomb. But disclosure of the project--and its apparent links to the testing of high explosives--seems to have been just what Washington and its allies needed to send Iran to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions, a measure the IAEA...
...still imports a substantial portion of the fuel it consumes domestically. Crucial to the outcome of the London discussions, and any Security Council deliberation, will be the input of Russia, which has sought to mediate the standoff by offering to establish a facility on its own soil to enrich uranium, under international scrutiny, to fuel Iran's nuclear energy reactors. (In order to create a nuclear weapon, uranium must be enriched to a far higher degree than that required to run a nuclear power plant, but the Europeans and the U.S. want to keep enrichment capability out of Iran...
...dealings with the international community over its nuclear program, and then retreat, carefully reading the responses and the red lines of its negotiating partners. But recently Tehran's tactics have become much more aggressive, and it does not seem likely that it will back down from its enrichment program. There is still room for maneuver: Iran has yet to start actually spinning the centrifuges to enrich uranium gas, and could agree under pressure to voluntarily desist from turning on the machines for a little while longer. But with the current mood towards Tehran in capitals around the world, that kind...
