...premised on the reasonable expectation that an escalation of the crisis will exacerbate divisions in the international community and allow it to win the battle to maintain at least a limited enrichment capability. Indeed, some analysts believe Iran will eventually reintroduce some version of the proposal to enrich its reactor fuel in Russia while maintaining a small enrichment facility at home for research purposes - a plan that could hold more appeal for U.S. allies if the most likely alternative appears to be confrontation. Divisions among Western governments are certainly plain to see, both over what punishments should be threatened...
Information gathered from satellite photos suggested a hellish scene at the accident site. All evidence pointed to a nuclear reactor fire burning out of control in the gentle, rolling Ukrainian countryside ... The most frightening part of the nuclear accident was the radiation that spewed from the reactor and then was carried by winds on its silent, deadly path. At distances of perhaps 3 to 4 miles, victims stood a 50-50 chance of surviving, though not without bone-marrow and gastrointestinal-tract damage. People living 5 to 7 miles from the accident could experience nausea and other symptoms but would...
...home than the regime itself is. But having assured its public that Western efforts to prevent Iran from mastering the fuel cycle have failed, the Iranian leadership may have actually given itself some new room to compromise. The regime reportedly wants a compromise that accepts that Iran's nuclear reactor fuel will be enriched in Russia or elsewhere abroad, but allows it to maintain, under international scrutiny, the small research facility that completed this week's experiment. The U.S. and Europe have flatly rejected that proposal, because they had hoped to deny Iran the means of attaining even the know...
...principle Russia does not believe that sanctions could achieve the purposes of settlement of various issues," Lavrov declared. In fact, Lavrov said, the IAEA should do more investigation before concluding that Iran is in fact trying to develop a nuclear weapons capability under the cover of its civilian power reactor program. "Before we call any situation a threat," Lavrov said with evident skepticism of the West?s claims about Iran, "we need facts, especially in a region like the Middle East when so many things are happening...
...build nuclear weapons, rather than simply a civilian energy program; and Iran defiantly warns that if the matter is referred to the Security Council, it will resume industrial-scale uranium enrichment - the activity that most concerns the West, given that it can be used both for civilian reactor fuel and to create weapons-grade material...
