"Iran will today resume nuclear fuel research as scheduled," government spokesman Gholamhossein Elham told a news conference on Monday morning.

I don't mean to get picky here, but why doesn't such announcement qualify for breaking or frontpage news, while "Man Who shot the Pope to be Released" qualifies for Breaking News.

Iran just announced officially this at a news conference Monday, Jan. 9th, morning, just a few hrs ago that they will remove the UN seals. I would think that both in new-ness and impact of such news it fits the general criteria for breaking and frontpage news.

P.S. to my post 13 directed to you:

The article had "wrap up 2" in the title, but then it went on and said:

(Updates with Iran confirming to resume research)

The fact that Iran officially confirmed that it will resume nuclear research is major news.

Why you ask, well the MSM (being America hating libs), want to see more nuclear power countries ... especially Iran ... so they will be a balance to the evil United
States. If the Arab world became nuclear powers, the MSM would praise it as a victory for the Muslims to be able to stand on their own against the only world superpower.
