If approved, the deal would commit Iran to temporarily exporting 75 percent of its known stockpile of low-grade nuclear fuel to Russia for additional enrichment. Negotiators say that would prevent the possibility that Iran could turn the fuel into weapons-grade material anytime soon.</p></blockquote><p>I don’t buy a word of this. First of all, anything the head of the IAEA says is <a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/10/04/the-iaea-can-no-longer-be-taken-seriously/" target="_blank">suspect</a> to begin with. Secondly, the keywords in the above paragraph are “known stockpile”. The Iranians have never been honest about their nuclear program and there’s no evidence to suggest that has changed.</p><p>Exporting 75% of the fuel we know they have means nothing as long as they keep 100% of the fuel they’re hiding and continue to enrich in secret.</p><p>This entire thing is a farce and unless Israel takes military action the Iranians will become a nuclear power.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/10/21/iran-allegedly-agrees-to-deal-on-exporting-nuclear-fuel/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <!-- google_ad_section_end --></channel> </rss>
