Iran announced today that it was embarking on a plan to install 6,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium at its main nuclear plant, in defiance of United Nations sanctions.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made his announcement at Natanz, in central Iran, as the country marked a "national day of nuclear technology", which falls on the day in April 2006 when uranium was successfully enriched for the first time.
According to the latest report by the UN's nuclear watchdog, Iran has already installed around 3,000 centrifuges at an underground enrichment facility in Natanz.
Nuclear experts believe between 20,000 and 30,000 centrifuges would be required to develop an actionable weapon, a goal which Mr Ahmadinejad denies, but the Iranian President hopes that developing 6,000 would send a powerful signal to the West that he is serious about developing a programme which he says is for the country's long-term energy needs.

World War IV will begin when Iran launches a nuke against Israel...a nuke everyone on the global left says they don’t have and aren’t pursuing.

Sorry, meant to say WW3.
Iran, Hezbolallah, Syria, Hamas.
The final piece to put in place is a
democrat President and buh bye middle east.
I’ve always thought that if we were in Iraq it would be of strategic military placement to Iran.

how the heck many centrifuges do we have in this country? how bout russia. call me confused on this one.
Think of it as a giant world sized Chess match. Only you can't always see all the pieces, in fact rarely ever can you see most of them. It is however the game we have going. Losing is NOT an option, and only fools with their heads buried most happily in their own self imposed ignorance can't see it. ie: Democrats and Liberals.
Thanks Russia. Way to go.
Yeah but.....the UN will take care of Iran won’t they????? They can put sanctions on them. Those always work. Unless someone is paying off the UN..........
Incorrect WW3 was fought during the 80-90’s all over the world as proxy battles between the USSR and USA we won with the fall of the USSR.
The Advancing Iranian Nuclear Program
************************EXCERPT*********************
WASHINGTON -- On Tuesday, Iran announced it was installing 6,000 more centrifuges -- they produce enriched uranium, the key ingredient of a nuclear weapon -- in addition to the 3,000 already operating. The world yawned.
It is time to admit the truth: The Bush administration's attempt to halt Iran's nuclear program has failed. Utterly. The latest round of U.N. Security Council sanctions, which took a year to achieve, is comically weak. It represents the end of the sanctions road.
see post # 3.
Thanks Ernest.
