Report: Iran Aims to Expand Nuke Program

As reported here, a new report from the IAEA indicates that Iran is pushing ahead it's domestic nuclear enrichment program, even as "talks" between Iran and Russia to move Iran's enrichment program to Russian soil have "started".

Adam Ereli, the deputy U.S. State Department spokesman, described news of agreement as "more chaff being thrown up by the Iranians ahead of the Board of Governors meeting" next week.


"There's no deal, frankly, that I'm aware of," Ereli said
.


Ereli is correct in his characterization of "talks" between Iran and Russia being "more chaff being thrown up by the Iranians ahead of the Board of Governors meeting" next week. The Iranians are merely giving lip service to these so-called "talks" with Russia, in a blatant attempt to blow smoke up the IAEA's rear end, to forestall referral to, and possible sanctions from, the UN Security Council.

As I've posted before, the only possible reason for that is that Iran wants to become a nuclear power. After all, their plainly stated objective is to dominate the world and create an Islamic world government. What better way to accomplish that, than by having nuclear weapons?
