Iran to remove U.N. seals at atomic research sites
More from the insane in Iran. If the world just sits around and wrings it's hands and passes resolutions, these nut cases are going to get nukes and we all know who they will use them on first...as well as sharing them with their terrorist friends.
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Sunday it was preparing to remove U.N. seals at some nuclear research and development sites, despite strong Western opposition to its decision to resume atomic work halted more than two years ago.
It would be the second time in five months that Iran, which the West suspects is bent on building atomic bombs but which insists its nuclear programme is peaceful, lifted some seals put in place by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
European Union and U.S. officials have said the move, which follows Iran's resumption of uranium processing at its Isfahan plant in August, will jeopardise efforts to find a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear ambitions and heighten calls to refer Tehran to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions.
"We will remove the seals and we have announced that we are ready to start research from tomorrow," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told a weekly news conference.
"It depends on the IAEA to announce its readiness as this will take place under the agency's supervision," he added.
IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said two letters the Iranians sent to the U.N. watchdog agency after it called for explanations about the new plan had not resolved key questions.
"The letters contain some detail but what we need is a lot of detail to prepare our inspectors. We've asked Iran for more," Fleming said. She declined to describe what detail was needed.
