Shocker: Iran Rejects UN Nuclear Plan

Iran fails to accept UN uranium enrichment plan

By Ali Akbar Dareini, Associated Press Writer

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran on Friday failed to accept a U.N.-drafted plan that would ship most of the country’s uranium abroad for enrichment, saying instead it would prefer to buy the nuclear fuel it needs for a reactor that makes medical isotopes.

The response will come as a disappointment to the U.S., Russia and France, which endorsed the U.N. plan Friday they drafted in discussions with Iran earlier in the week. The agreement was meant to ease Western fears about Iran’s potential to make a nuclear weapon…

The Vienna-brokered plan would have required Iran to send 1.2 tons (1,100 kilograms) of low-enriched uranium — around 70 percent of its stockpile — to Russia in one batch by the end of the year, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said Thursday.

After further enrichment in Russia, France would have converted the uranium into fuel rods that would be returned to Iran for use in the Tehran reactor, he said…

Man, who could have seen this coming?

“President Barack Obama has stepped up diplomatic engagement with Iran since he took office in January and has faulted the Bush administration for refusing to talk to U.S. adversaries.”

Of course it’s Bush’s fault! Isn’t everything …

Whatta batch of school kids.
