As reported here, Iran again stubbornly refuses to bend to the will of the rest of the world, rejecting UN demands that they freeze their nuclear enrichment program.
Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Tehran's chief representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, said "it is impossible to go back" to suspension.
"This enrichment matter is not reversible," he said in a telephone call from Vienna, Austria.
I disagree with that statement if, as Iran claims, their intent on developing nuclear technology is for "peaceful purposes". The only conceivable reason their enrichment program would not be "reversible" is if they are trying to develop nuclear weapons in as short a span of time as they possibly can.
Also, once again, Russia and China are obstructing actions by the UN Security Council in this matter by not agreeing to a resolution by the UNSC until strong language was stripped from the resolution.
I am getting rather tired of how the UN representatives from the US, Britain and Germany are tip-toeing around Russia and China, allowing those two nations to be enablers of Iranian intents to develop nuclear weapons. This has to stop before Iran succeeds in gaining a "fait accompli".
