The Iranian regime’s president and head of the Guardian Council call for further enrichment
NCRI – In its report released on Thursday, the International Atomic Energy Agency acknowledged that, “it has found traces of highly enriched uranium in the regime’s equipments in a technical school in Tehran.” In May 2003, the Iranian Resistance revealed the location of these equipments which had been installed at the Shian-Lavizan facility in eastern Tehran. Subsequently, the Iranian regime razed the Shian-Lavizan site and relocated its equipments to other sites. Discovery of highly enriched uranium is proof of a parallel atomic weapons project and confirms that the regime is still on the path of further diversions and secretive behavior despite the new and increasing tolerance on the part of the western countries.
At Friday prayers in Tehran, Ahmad Jannati, head of the regime’s Guardian Council said, "We must have uranium enrichment between 3.5 to five percent. They have no choice but to accept this".
On Thursday in Qazvin, the regime’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, “Whether you do negotiate or not, whether you sulk or not, the Iranian people are determined in their path to acquire peaceful atomic energy and would not retreat even an inch.”
Discovery of highly enriched uranium, and the assertions by Jannati and Ahmadinejad, reaffirms the need for the adoption of a firm policy which involves comprehensive sanctions being imposed on the regime at the UN Security Council. No amount of incentives would convince the mullahs’ regime to abandon its sinister nuclear program.These incentives and negotiations only provide the necessary time it needs to complete its secret nuclear weapons projects and bring the region and the world to the brink of a major catastrophe.
