Come what may, Iran would go on with its peaceful nuclear energy program. So far, no one yet could ever dream of deterring or stopping its progress.

Wed Feb 22, 2012 7:53AM GMT


Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi says the Islamic Republic is currently constructing a fuel complex despite efforts by Western powers to undermine Iranian nuclear achievements.

Iran is among the few countries that possess the capacity to construct a fuel complex, so Western countries were caught by a surprise discovering Iran's access to the technology, Salehi said on Tuesday.

Iran requested a 20-percent-enriched fuel supply from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) some two years ago, but they began imposing conditions on the legitimate demand, leaving us with no other option than to produce the fuel on our own, he added.

Nonsense. Iran's nuclear program will pay great dividends for them in the long run.

I expect that the nuclear program WILL be extremely beneficial for Iran as it will lead to the end of the current vile regime.
