Iran Threatens to Restart Nuke Activities

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran threatened Sunday to restart some suspended activities that could be used to make atomic weapons if European negotiators do not immediately offer a promised package of incentives to entice Tehran to freeze its nuclear program.

A senior European diplomat said the negotiators from Britain, France and Germany were just days away from making Tehran a ``generous'' offer that could include guarantees that Iran will not be invaded if it agrees to permanently halt uranium enrichment.

But Iran's nuclear negotiator Hasan Rowhani turned up the pressure for an immediate proposal by warning that Iran was preparing to restart uranium reprocessing work at its Isfahan Nuclear Conversion Facility, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

``Europe has only a few hours, up to when the council meets, (to file its) proposal. If it does not arrive by that time, the council will discuss breaking the ice'' on Iran's stalled nuclear program, Agha Mohammadi told state radio Sunday.

2. Sounds like economic blackmail to me

" 'Europe has only a few hours, up to when the council meets, (to file its) proposal. If it does not arrive by that time, the council will discuss breaking the ice' on Iran's stalled nuclear program, Agha Mohammadi told state radio Sunday. "

Iran is ruled by Muslim fundies who think Sharia is a good idea and that legitimate elections are a bad idea.

Kooks with nukes. Better get used to it. The chance that they won't continue nuke development in secret is not good.

Peace.
