"Russia ships nuclear fuel to Iran”

This headline leaped right out at me this morning, immediately raising a slew of questions. If Russia is supplying fuel for Iran’s peaceful nuclear reactor/electric generation program, for what reason is Iran enriching uranium? That was the first. And exactly where has Iran obtained the uranium it is currently, feverishly working to enrich? That was #2.

Then this passage,"The latest report on Iran from the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), concluded that Tehran was being more open about some aspects of its programme, but there remained unanswered questions and uranium enrichment had not been halted despite the UN’s demands.” brought to mind another. Did not a group of people tell the world that Iran had suspended this activity?

Exactly why, in reality, are the Mullahs of Iran pushing so hard to enrich uranium when all the fuel needed for their “peaceful” nuclear program is included in the package with the reactors and electric generation systems being built for them by Atomstroiexport? Does this not put the lie to their claims that their centrifuge complex is merely needed to produce fuel for reactors?

It would certainly appear so. Read the whole article , and ponder the implications therein.
