The matter of Iran’s Manhattan Project has been referred to the UN Security Council, who want to let it sit until oh, about March, at which point they’ll discuss the possibility of having meetings to work toward a decision on whether or not to issue a strongly worded denunciation.
Meanwhile, Iran announces plans to resume full-scale uranium enrichment.
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran’s president Saturday ordered the resumption of uranium enrichment and an end to snap inspections of its facilities after the U.N. nuclear watchdog voted to report Tehran to the Security Council.
Iran had warned that it would resume enrichment if the International Atomic Energy Agency board voted to refer it to the Security Council, which it did on Saturday. Tehran also said a proposal by Moscow to enrich uranium in Russia was dead.
“As of Sunday, the voluntary implementation of the additional protocol and other cooperation beyond the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty has to be suspended under the law,” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a letter addressed to Vice President Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.
