Iran expands uranium enrichment in new breach of nuclear deal

[Zaibetter]

They're lucky the Saudis pussied out and didn't want to escalate. Someone is going have to do something with these Islamic wackos....


Iran has been accumulating, or has been prepared to accumulate, enriched uranium, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a new report.

Iran has committed an additional breach of its nuclear deal with major powers by enriching uranium with advanced centrifuges, and plans to install more of those advanced machines than previously announced, a UN nuclear watchdog report showed on Thursday.
"On 25 September 2019, the Agency verified that all of the (centrifuge) cascades already installed in R&D lines 2 and 3...were accumulating, or had been prepared to accumulate, enriched uranium," the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in its report.

Those lines include relatively small cascades of up to 20 centrifuges. The global nuclear watchdog said Iran is still in the process of installing two previously announced 164-machine cascades of the IR-4 and IR-2m models, two cascades that were removed under the 2015 international nuclear agreement between Tehran and major world powers.
The IAEA had reported in early September that Iran was installing additional advanced centrifuges for enriching uranium, but without actually using the chemical that can be refined into reactor fuel or warheads.
In its latest update, the Vienna-based nuclear agency said that actual enrichment was being prepared for or had even already started with these machines. In addition, IAEA inspectors in Iran verified that Iran has pushed ahead with preparations to install more than 300 additional next-generation centrifuges that can refine uranium more efficiently.
The IAEA report came one day after the United States slapped Iran with additional sanctions and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the US must lift all sanctions to clear the way for new talks on a nuclear deal.

The international deal signed by Tehran and world powers in 2015 called for Iran to curtail its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions against the country. US President Donald Trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement last year and reimposed sanctions. European governments have attempted to salvage the accord, but those efforts have so far proved insufficient.
Iran denies ever having sought to build a nuclear bomb and says its uranium enrichment program is only for civilian purposes, but the US and IAEA believe Tehran once had a nuclear weapons program that it had closed down.

Iran builds massive enrichment capacity, engages in suspicious activities, sneaks around IAEA inspectors, stockpiles way more low grade uranium than they can use in a couple decades.

The UN responds with massive sanctions.

The US pulls out of the deal that eased the sanctions and Iran responds by doing the exact same thing that earned them sanctions in the first place. For some reason they think doing the exact opposite of what the UN wants will fix things.

Israel built massive enrichment, stole nuclear material and tech from the US, built and tested a bomb, threatened other countries with the bomb, offered to sell the bomb to apartheid South Africa and still refuse to sign the NPT.
Iran signed and abided by the NPT until Trump pulled out and is not building a bomb.

And you think Iran is the problem?

They're not rational and very dangerous, they think bravado will get them somewhere. So far it has only brought isolation and economic disaster for Persian citizens.

They haven't started a war in 200 years.

Contrast that with the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

As usual, you feel the need to excuse Iran's nuclear program (that earned worldwide condemnation) simply because you it fits your anti-Israel, anti-US agenda.

That's not about their nukes, just the fact that they haven't started a war in 200 years.

Iran was following the deal until the US and Israel turned up the heat, scrapped the deal and started harassing them. Why shouldn't they have what Israel has ....nukes? They are under attack and need to take defensive measures.

'm not surprised that you think Iran is not a problem. They're Islamist and you're a Islamist and terrorist supporter. This is why you should've never been left into the country.

They persecute their minorities like the Bahai. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-religion-un-idUSBRE89L1I520121022

They assassinated Neda....and who knows how many others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxrEAH_qS1E.

They suppress and run over their protesters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_WR0fRDCOM

They continue to execute children https://thearabweekly.com/despite-international-outcry-iran-keeps-executing-children

They're a dirty and evil dictatorship and terror supporters. They're getting nuclear weapons, they're not rational.

Thanks for confirming that they haven't started a war in 200 years and are only guilty of minor issues, much, much more minor that the US, SA and Israeli wars, apartheid, human rights violations and colonization.
Really clears that up.

Iran should be pressured politically through the UN to open up, as Obama was doing with the JCPOA. During that time the Iranian hard liners were being ousted by moderates. It was only when the US/SA/Israeli pressure tactics that Iran's hard liners moved back in power.

I'm sure all the stuff I mentioned is minor stuff for you considering you support terrorism and oppression. You should go back since you feel the conditions are better there. You would be happy there partying with Isis and help all Canadians by having one jihadist less in the country..

They are minor compared to SA and Israel, in particular.
Persecuting minorities - Israel wins that hands down with apartheid
Assassinations - MBS comes in first with Kashoggi and Israel in second
Protesters - Israel killed 300 civilian protesters in the last year and injured another 14,000, they win that one as well
Children - Israel again, they've killed so many children protesting

Why do you ignore those crimes?

 

[basketcase]

Iran was following the deal ...es.

And now they have gone back to the exact same things that earned them UN sanctions in the first place. Doesn't seem sane to me.

 

[basketcase]

That's not about their nukes,....

So what if they've been heavily involved in backing terrorism ... :der:

Why do you find it so difficult to criticise Iran's suspicious program even after it earned UN sanctions?

 

[basketcase]

...

And look how well that worked. Turned out they had hidden radioactive material from the IAEA.

Political pressure seems to be exactly what Trump has done and I seem to recall you being against the UN political pressure and sanctions on Iran in the first place.


(but you don't give a shit about what goes on in either Iran or Saudi Arabia except as an excuse to go after Israel for bullshit)

 

[basketcase]

p.s. Funny to see a guy claiming to be for nuclear disarmament make excuses for a country enriching way more uranium than they could possibly use for civilian purposes.

It worked out well, they decommissioned quite a bit of their tech and inspections showed they weren't building a bomb.
Contrast that with Israel, which is not a signatory and built nukes with stolen US tech and material and SA, which is trying to build a bomb now.

That treaty worked just like it was supposed to.

p.s. Funny to see a guy claiming to be for nuclear disarmament make excuses for a country enriching way more uranium than they could possibly use for civilian purposes.

Funny to see a guy complaining about a country that signed and abided by the NPT, not building bombs, while simultaneously backing a country that built and tested nukes and refuses to sign the treaty, going as far as trying to sell nukes to other pariah states.

 

[nottyboi]

The Europeans are non compliant with the treaty. Its not Iran that violated it first. Its pretty clear to me that Iran can only be a soverign country by having nukes. When they test their first weapon it will be Trumps fault,.

 

[basketcase]

It worked out well, ....

For Iran. Turns out they are still stonewalling IAEA inspectors and hiding material they were supposed to be rid of.

And you never answer the underlying question; what civilian use does Iran have for its massive enrichment capacity when even the older centrifuges the deal allowed resulted in a significant surplus of 3% uranium?

And I see that your claims of being against nukes is pure bullshit as you have no complaint about anti-US and anti-Israel groups having them.

 

[Frankfooter]

For Iran.

For the world.
Iran didn't build a bomb, allowed inspections and as a result sanctions were being lowered and more moderates were getting in power.
How's it working running with Netanyahu's plan?

Happier now?
