...International Atomic Energy Association’s (IAEA) qualms with Iran were ignited by the 1979 Islamic Revolution that deposed the Shah and introduced theocracy under the unchecked control of an Islamic Ayatollah. Ironically enough, prior to that, and building up on the carnal relationships between the Shah and the White House, the U.S. government and German companies like Siemens were building reactors at locations like Bushehr. Today, the hands that work on that Persian coast site, or other buried research facilities like Natanz, are all but Western...
...White House, Russia changed a crucial law in 2002, and offered Iran to take back the spent fuel, thus minimizing Teheran’s contact with fissile material. Despite intense negotiations, Teheran flirts with refusal, alleging that it would only perpetuate its dependency on foreign powers. Moreover, the IAEA has openly declared that some of Iran’s figures for fissile material stock simply do not match. Much like a 19th century classic novel, ghostly amounts of plutonium just vanish. The repeated efforts of the E3 (UK, France and Germany), known as “devils?...

Nevertheless, due to economic ties and resulting foreign policies, countries like China or Russia are unlikely to applaud such speeches, and their reluctance will only work for Teheran...
President Bush in his State of the Union address promised to "rally the world" against the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.

The resolution notes that Iran's history of concealment of certain nuclear activities...
...need to hammer out a common position, the Europeans have arranged a meeting in London next week with the U.S., Russia and China to discuss how to respond to Tehran's move. One option would be for the Security Council to start by requiring Iran to comply with existing IAEA resolutions, and then consider measures to strengthen the IAEA's powers of inspection, although the problem with this scenario is that the U.N. agency cannot operate without the compliance of the host country. Other options may include travel bans on Iranian officials or restrictions on fuel supplies in the country...
