While John F. Kerry parades around making America safer and pissing off Marines trying to eat lunch, Iran Says It Resumes Building Nuclear Centrifuges.
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said Saturday it had resumed building nuclear centrifuges, which Washington says are intended to enrich uranium to weapons-grade for use in bombs.
Iran’s decision backtracks from a pledge in October to the European Union’s “big three” members — Britain, France and Germany — to suspend all uranium enrichment-related activities.
“We have started building centrifuges,” Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi told a news conference.
However he insisted Iran had not resumed enriching uranium, the key part of the process which can either produce fuel for power stations or bomb material.
Well, so there’s nothing to worry about then, is there?
