Iran to announce nuclear 'breakthrough'

TEHRAN (AFX) - Iran will soon announce an atomic breakthrough, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported today, a day after the country responded to an offer aimed at resolving a nuclear standoff.

'This great scientific achievement is the fruit of a long-term research project ... It will be formally announced by a top official,' Mehr quoted an informed source as saying.

'The announcement will highlight Iran's mastery of different areas in nuclear science and will reinforce Iran's position as a nuclear country,' the report said.

Amid a fanfare of publicity, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced in April that Iran had successfully enriched uranium to 3.5 pct and mastered the nuclear fuel cycle.

4. If War comes between Iran and the US

The current president of Iran will certainly have done his part to cause it. That said, I hope it doesn't come, and while I despise a lot of what the current President of Iran is doing, I got no say of it. I do, supposedly, have a say over what Bush does, so will focus my anger there.
