James > I understand that Iran is very close to a nuclear weapon. All they need is processed uranium and I believe they may even have that under wraps.

I have to say that's all warmongering Israeli and Zionist propaganda. If Iran wanted a bomb they could have bought one long ago from innumerable sources -- Pakistan, N.Korea, Ukraine come to mind. Their interest, unlike that of Israel, which sits on many "illegal" bombs, is not warfare but the peaceful use of nuclear power, in fact, like that of virtually all advanced countries. The argument that because Iran has a lot of oil they don't need nuclear is specious. It's like saying wheat farmers shouldn't eat barley or oats.

>>TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Wednesday it would "seriously and enthusiastically" study a Russian proposal aimed at reducing international fears about its nuclear programme, the ISNA students news agency reported.

The remarks by Javad Vaeedi, deputy head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, were the most positive yet by a senior Tehran official about Moscow's offer to form a joint venture with Iran to enrich uranium in Russia.

The Russian proposal is backed by the United States and the European Union.

It is aimed at easing international concerns that Tehran could make atomic bombs from highly enriched uranium, after having concealed a nuclear programme from U.N. inspectors for 18 years until 2003.

Iran says it only wants to purify uranium to a lower grade suitable for use in power stations.

The Russian proposal "will be reviewed seriously and enthusiastically," Vaeedi told ISNA.<<
