Iran has given an initial response to a plan that calls for Tehran to ship most of its enriched uranium abroad, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Thursday. An official familiar with Iran's response said Tehran was unwilling to accept the deal, which would delay Tehran's ability to make a nuclear weapon.

The U.S. and allied countries were seeking Iranian agreement to ship out 70 percent of its low-enriched uranium to Russia in one shipment for further enrichment and conversion into fuel for a Tehran research reactor.

Sending that amount in one batch would not leave Tehran with enough material to make weapons-grade uranium should it decide to make a warhead. Experts say Iran would need at least a year to produce enough to make up for the exported material, giving the international community a window in its efforts to persuade the Islamic Republic to freeze its enrichment program.

Iran has nothing to worry about. The great United States won’t do anything about it.

With regards to Iran, how's that hope and change and 'Yes we can!' working out for ya, Barry and Hillary?

Fortunately for Iran, our Supreme American Imam Hussein stands with their mullahs in solidarity for a nuclear Islam, and a disarmed dhimmi infidel America and Israel.
