Iranian Official: Enrichment on the Table


Sunday July 23, 2006 10:16 AM

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran left open the possibility Sunday that it might consider
suspending uranium enrichment, one of the most contentious features of its suspect
nuclear program.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Iranian officials have said they will never
abandon uranium enrichment, which the United States and allies fear could be used
for a nuclear arms program.

But a foreign ministry spokesman suggested Sunday that Tehran may have softened
its position.

"Everything should come out through negotiations ... Leave everything for negotiations,"
Hamid Reza Asefi said.

1. You know....

The one thing that they may consider good enough to stop their uranium enrichment is something that would humiliate and degrade Israel. The status they would gain in the middle east would be enormous.

They know the US a) is desperate to stop their nuclear program and b) could devestate Israel if it so chose.

5. So, the U.S. could put them under their "nuclear umbrella"?

This seems unlikely, on several grounds.

4. **PETITION AGAINST MILITARY ACTION AGAINST IRAN**

With the world spinning towards WWIII - Iran will be the final quagmire that will forever change our lives.

It is with grave concern that I observe the growing threat of a new U.S. war--this time against the people of Iran.

For a collection of articles and resources on this subject you can visit this link: http://reseaudesign.com/research/iran/iran_summery.html

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.
