Apperently bowing, scraping and apologizing to the world isn’t an effective foreign policy strategy. Gee, who knew?

The Washington Post reported:

TEHRAN — Iran’s government will build 10 new sites to enrich uranium, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday, a dramatic expansion of the country’s nuclear program and one that is bound to fuel fears that it is attempting to produce a nuclear weapon.

Ahmadinejad told state news agency IRNA that construction of at least five nuclear facilities was to begin within two months.

The announcement comes just days after a censure of Iran by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over the Islamic republic’s refusal to stop enriching uranium, a key demand of Western powers.

Iran has insisted that its nuclear program is designed for energy production and denies it is seeking to build a nuclear bomb. Ahmadinejad said Sunday that his country’s need for energy would grow dramatically over the next 15 years.

“We annually must produce between 250 to 300 tons of nuclear fuel,” he said.

If completed, the proposed expansion of Iran’s nuclear program would give it vastly more nuclear fuel. According to a November report by the Vienna-based IAEA, Iran currently has 8,745 centrifuges to enrich uranium, but less than half of them are operational. ….

One Response to Iran Announced Plan for Ten New Nuke Facilities

The U.N. is totally ineffective and useless, America, under the Obama administration is pointless and impotent. Humanity is on a collision course with the inhumane.
