IAEA Confirms Iran Has Started 20% Uranium Enrichment
The geopolitical foreplay is getting ridiculous. At this point it is quite obvious that virtually everyone involved in the US-Israel-Iran hate triangle is just itching for someone else to pull the trigger. And the latest report out of the IAEA will only precipitate this. Who - remember the IAEA? The same IAEA which did not find nukes in Iraq in 2003 only to be overriden by Dick "WMD" Cheney to "justify" an invasion. As RIA reports: "The International Atomic Energy Agency officially confirmed that Iran has started enriching uranium to the 20-percent level, which can easily be turned into fissile warhead material. "The IAEA can confirm that Iran has started the production of uranium enriched up to 20 percent using IR-1 centrifuges in the Fordo Fuel Enrichment Plant," the agency said in a statement. However, IAEA Spokeswoman Gill Tudor said that all nuclear materials and operations in the Fordo facility are “under the Agency's containment and surveillance."" Naturally, that leaves the "use of uranium" variable quite subjective and in the hands of political manipulation. Which means at this point it is only a matter of days before the meme that Iran already has nuclear warheads becomes actively adopted by warmongers everywhere.
Iranian officials earlier said the Fordo plant, deep inside the mountains near the central Iranian city of Qom, was build to produce 20-percent uranium needed for a research reactor in Tehran, which produces medical isotopes to treat cancer patients.
The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereydoon Abbasi said last August that Iranian authorities planned to transfer all enrichment facilities from a plant in Natanz to Fordo, citing insufficient security.
He also said Iran had no plans to enrich uranium to higher than 20 percent.
The news is likely to further increase tensions between Iran and the West over the country’s clandestine nuclear research. Western nations suspect Iran of pursuing a secret weapons program while Tehran says it needs nuclear research for peaceful energy purposes. Negotiations have been stalled for 12 months.
The IAEA statement has already triggered harsh statements from diplomats in the United States and Europe.
And just like back in 2003 Iraq, the IAEA's finding will be used, if in a completely perverted fashion. Too bad Dick Cheney is not around to show how gross disinformation propaganda is really done:
"This is a further escalation of their ongoing violations with regard to their nuclear obligations," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters.
"The fact that the IAEA has made clear that they are enriching to a level that is inappropriate at Fordo is obviously a problem," she went on.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague described the move as "a provocative act that undermines claims that the program is civilian in nature."
The German foreign ministry expressed hope that the European Union will agree on a fresh round of sanctions against Iran during a meeting on January 30, because the start of operations at Fordo was “a step of further escalation.”
“With it, the international community’s concern that the Iranian nuclear program is serving military purposes is growing,” the ministry said in a statement. “So long as Iran does not move, there is no alternative to tough sanctions,” the statement said.
If at this point anyone is missing the parallels to 2003, we suggest getting bigger glasses. Our prediction is that within 2 years Ahmedinejad will be found by the US Army deep in some foxhole, to make the Iraq replica complete.
Our only hope is that by then the entire Middle East is not covered in radioactive glass.
Finally, to anyone assuming China (and Russia) will sit idly by and wait as its marginal oil producer is subsumed by the west, even as it is now expected to overtake the US in oil imports in under 2 years, we have for sale a 5th lien on a reverse Chinese IPO of a company building bridges to non-existing timberlands.

The reason why it is in an impenetrable mountain is so that we'll have to invade instead of bomb. Our psychoanalysts are better than theirs (dinner suits).
Maybe raghead just likes a good cave? ... you know how they get.

Do Chen, go watch some Fox news and play with your cunt, you brain washed imbecile.
20% is used for fission-based Mo-99 production and research reactor driver fuel.
Offer them free supply of Mo-99 and see what the excuse is then.
Maybe, just maybe, every single country on this planet does not want to be beholden to the US government.
pods
That's not going to happen. There's a critical shortage of Mo-99 in the west right now.
How fortunate for the war hawks that this "information" should surface on the same day that Iran hands the death sentence to an American "CIA operative".
How fortunate for the leaders that the masses do not think.
But today the White House press secretary denied he was CIA. He wouldn't lie, would he?

Spies lie. Even the CIA admits that.

The fuckwits are certainly out in force today. The "information" appeared on the Tehran Times on Saturday 7th Jan.

20% is perfect for small reactors ie. nuclear submarines and ships.
Apparently, Iran has plans to produce their own Trident subs complete
with a 24 trunk forrest and MIRV'ed solid fuel subsurface launched
medium range missiles. It's conceivable that the Persians can
accomplish this without the help of Germany or America considering
they invented fine art colored hand blown glass and hi carbon steel
before Abraham thought to leave his first wife for Sarah.
Too bad the Jews only have American to try and destroy Iran

catch up, tomato.
Have you been drinking or something?
Don't be silly, A "Trident Submarine" is ™ the US Military. If Iran dared to do such a thing then the US could take them to court, that would soon stop those pesky copy cat Iranians.
Dude, I don't know how you did that, but you managed to put events from almost each century for the last 3000 years in 5 sentences. Talk about anachronism! Kudos to that.
Hmmmm.... I wonder if there is a statue of Ahmedinejad in Tehran that we can topple.... That always makes for a great 'above the fold' picture in the the New York Times.... We can always build one and then tear it down, i guess.
Hitler will take Moscow before USA gets to Tehran.
Doesn't mean we won't try. I would never underestimate the bloodlust and arrogance of the TPTB. I reckon Iran is four to seven times more formitable than Iraq (in terms of landmass, millitary assets, and there is a difficult to quantify element in terms of Iran not having a fractured country, i.e. sunni and shia factions at odds with each other plus there are powerful countries outside the Middle East with strategic interests in Iran). It's frankly easy to conclude that the cost in terms of blood and treasure would be four to seven times greater (call it $2 trillion, 15 to 20 thousand US casualties, 100+ thousand mamed and wounded, and 300 to 500 thousand enemy casualties, oh and oil goes to somewhere between $150 and 250 therefore strangling the US economy). I'm not even sure we could prosecute such a war without a draft. That said, Obama is the bloodiest nobel peace prize winner in history. If the Swiss had any integrity, they would revoke his Peace Prize.
Obombs away!
Iran is an empire, not a country. Think of it as Yugoslavia. The Iranians vs. the Arabs and Kurds (with the oil), the Azerbaijanis and Armenians (with the water), and the Baluchis (with the Straits of Hormuz and the land route to the Pakistanni and Indian market for gas). There is another ethnic group up in the Northwest but I can't remember if they are Pashtuns or something else.
"Nuclear launch detected." (Starcraft Ghost Recon)
better not...BCS game in 1 and 30 min.
they are going to start this war regardless of the facts. these stories are just so much white noise issued in hopes that the sheeple don't actually wake up and realize that their government is waging imperial wars around the world on behalf of hidden corporate/banker interests. keep it simple, crazy man with big bomb bad... no worry, we fix with smaller bombs (of peace). /s
I would disagree with the white noise theory. I believe these stories are orchestrated as part of a larger manipulation. Propoganda is a powerful tool used to condition (brain wash, whatever you want to call it) the masses. They are very deliberately and methodically creating an image in the mind of the American masses. The boogeyman cometh, we must act preemptively.
Lennon coughs into his hand....
20% is what u need for a power plant
Can you say "supercavitating torpdeoes"? I hope they don't really work... maybe our Navy will find out.
I hear the mating call of the chickenhawks. "Bwak Bwak Bwak. Sending someone else's children off to a war that I'd never fight in. Bwak Bwak Bwak."
Its the planned endgame...does anyone really think they bankrupted all western economies for no reason?
Funny how todays 'chickenhawks' are last decades doves.
The military/industrial complex requires perpetual war: shut one down; start another one up keeps those dimes and nickles comin'.
Oh, they have FAR better propagandizers around today, hell Dick Cheney is now considered a dinosaur. Besides, what do they need any spin for? We have a president who just announced he has no further need for congress or judicial branches of govt and will now just do what he feels, and america cheered!
Further down the spiral.
from what I understand those were kids at a school with the press secretary of whoever orchestrating the cheering crowd much as you would see behind the scenes at a game show.
I don't know anybody who 'cheered' .... except MSM
It's a done deal in my opinion. Attack by March simultaneous with a couple of european bank collapses or greek default. So news will even each other out.
As to China and Russia, this will be a godsend. They will blame the crappy economies on USA and Europe and Israel. Bottom line, openly or secretly everybody wants the attack and the Iranians have been lured in.
Iran was always the prize....surprised it took this long to work up an excuse.
I have March 4th in our pool.....
It's looking like I should have gone for an earlier date.
February 14? Valentine Day?
I think someone might already have that date, you might have to fight for it. Tyler you should get a poll up (remember those?) and we can vote on the timeline and in the replies we can form a pool. Just a thought....
I am in for Feb 29th if its still open.
Yup, I already stuck my chips on that one. Come on Feb 14, baby needs a new pair of shoes!
This whole situation is retarded!
Gotta have a war going by Election Day: We wouldn't want to change horses in midstream now would we?
The only nation in the world that has used nuclear weapons, and those on a civilian population, is wagging its itchy trigger finger at Persia, which has none. American deceptionalism.
Coincidence that they released this news on the eve of the NH GOP primary? After all, Ron Paul's foreign policy is so whacked... [/sarc]
If the 9/11 commission spent only 1% of the energy of the IAEA.....talk about nuclear, bitchez
A war with Iran is exactly the kind of thing Nobel-Peace-Prize-Winning oBAMa needs to stir up some phony nationalism and court some of the Christian right and conservative Jewish.
> 20-percent level, which can easily be turned into fissile warhead material
This is just a pipe dream.
Seriously, RIA commentators are completely ignorant about nuclear physics (or any science, in general).
240...241...whatever works!
My "pipe" can easily emit "fissile warhead material" when it feels like it.
At a high rate of speed even.
Bitchez ignore physics at their peril.
Nah, really it's easy. You just need a day with a zillion centrifuges that aren't susceptible to Stuxnet. Or one centrifuge and a whooooooole lot of days.
Cuz we all know that 20% purity is nearly equal to 93%, in political sabre-rattling terms. Just ask Asshole (er.... I mean Colon (er.... I mean Colin)) Powell. He knows so much about WMDs that he carried them around in his pocket.

Since the 1979 Iranian revolution and the downfall of the US Puppet Ruler the Shah, Iran has been an Islamic state. In that interval of time, 1979 to the present, Iran has not invaded anyone. Not once. People of all religions live in peace in Iran, even Jews, who find life so comfortable in Iran they refused an offer by the government of Israel to emigrate!
In the same period of time, Israel, a self-declared Jewish state, attacked Iraq in 1981, bombing the power station at Osirik, claiming it was a clandestine weapons factory. Subsequent examination of the ruins following the 2003 invasion proved Israel had lied. In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon. This led to the Massacres at Sabra and Shatilla. In February 2003 Israel staged incursions into Gaza and Nablus. In September 2007 Israel bombed Syria, again insisting they were destroying a clandestine weapons laboratory. Again there was no evidence to support Israel’s claims. In 2006, Israel attacked Lebanon, killing 1200, mostly civilians, several UN observers, and littering the landscape with land mines on their way out. In February 2008 Israel again raided Gaza, killing over 100. HAMAS agreed to a cease fire and kept it for 6 months until November 4, when Israel again attacked without warning, killing 6 HAMAS members, and launching operation CAST LEAD. 1300 Gazans, mostly civilians, were killed. Israel lost 13 soldiers. Violations of international law included the use of White Phosphorus incendiary bombs against civilians and non-military targets. The United Nations investigated, but Israel refused to cooperate. In May 2010, Israel attacked an international aid flotilla bringing food and medical supplies to Gaza in international waters. 9 people were murdered including an American from New York.
In the same period of time, the United States, officially a secular nation but predominantly Christian, attacked El Salvador (1980), Libya (1981), Sinai (1982), Lebanon (1982 1983), Egypt (1983), Grenada (1983), Honduras (1983), Chad (1983), Persian Gulf (1984), Libya (1986) , Bolivia (1986), Iran (1987), Persian Gulf (1987), Kuwait (1987), Iran (1988), Honduras (1988), Panama (1988), Libya (1989), Panama (1989), Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru (1989), Philippines (1989), Panama (1989-1990), Liberia (1990), Saudi Arabia (1990), Iraq (1991), Zaire (1991), Sierra Leone (1992), Somalia (1992), Bosnia-Herzegovina (1993 to present), Macedonia (1993), Haiti (1994), Macedonia (1994), Bosnia (1995), Liberia (1996), Central African Republic (1996), Albania (1997), Congo/Gabon (1997), Sierra Leon (1997), Cambodia (1997), Iraq (1998), Guinea/Bissau (1998), Kenya/Tanzania (1998 to 1999), Afghanistan/Sudan (1998), Liberia (1998), East Timor (1999), Serbia (1999), Sierra Leon (2000), Yemen (2000), East Timor (2000), Afghanistan (2001 to present), Yemen (2002), Philippines (2002) , Cote d’Ivoire (2002), Iraq (2003 to present), Liberia (2003), Georgia/Djibouti (2003), Haiti (2004), Georgia/Djibouti/Kenya/Ethiopia/Yemen/Eritrea War on Terror (2004), Pakistan drone attacks (2004 to present), Somalia (2007), South Ossetia/Georgia (2008), Syria (2008), Yemen (2009), Haiti (2010), etc. etc. etc. etc.

Wow, you're seriously off of your game there, Hamy.
I realize you've got competition now (and the space you filled previously by impersonating Harry is but a void), but I'll tell you something. The net is already filled with rage trolls, so don't be too surprised when this schtick fails.
Maybe you should try a new character? How about an impassioned Gingrich voter? Oh wait, too obvious (seems nobody is that stupid). Or you could go for the "beat-down Wall St. trader," as I bet you could get lots of mileage out of that.
Anybody else here have any suggestions? Hamy's been too entertaining in the past to watch devolve along these lines, and darn it, we should do something to help.
Who's with me?
I don't know... 'MillionDollarBonus' seems to have stolen the best parts of his shtick. And I see 'Dr. Paul Krugman' has a nice turn of phrase, too... what was that about "If you find yourself in a hole, you don't lie down! You dig!" Genius.
Dr. Krugman certainly is a cut above. Gotta luv a troll who can punctuate.
Tough business to crack into, M$B and Robotrader are awfully good at their craft.

Get Israel out of the CIA and NSA and all those other stupid spy agencies we have.
Israel has over 400 nuclear devices.
And Iran has only 20% nuclear enrichment?
What a "National Security" joke.
Get rid of the stupid spy agencies. Problems solved.
Get rid of the stupid agencies.
FTFY! (no sense in limiting the cure)
Get rid of the stupid?
Pods... I think that's kinda the middle-term plan, globally. Though only the right kind of stupid, of course. Those that stack Au and Ag or think they can run their own lives better than some guy with a PhD from Harvard can, for example.
You forgot Israeli operative Wolf Blitzer. You know, the guy who cut off Corpral Thorsen the night of Iowa's Caucus..

I would love to see the reaction of the Europeans if an Iranian war ship would cross the Channel.
Iran is a serious threat to the US. Sure too many of their aircraft carriers are positionned off the coast of NYC, DC and Norfolk.
Does anyone know the ending to the fable that some Iranian was caught trying to assasinate a Saudi Diplomat ? No talk about that incident anymore.
Yes... they seem to have quietly dropped it.
Guess they're working on something new....
I know! How about, Iran assassinates US nuclear weapons expert?
At least it's plausible - God knows, we've been killing theirs regularly enough.
Wrong, wrong, WRONG! Not a day goes by when Sean Hannity, aka Rupert Murdoch, doesn't mention the "Iranian assassins operating on American soil".

Certainly the ME "tin pots" have been isolated and picked off. Iran is just the hardest nut to crack so far. I think all the saber ratling from China and Russia is just staged. They have/will be cut into the spoils. Makes choosing sides rather academic hugh?
China and Russia are in the business of selling weapons to Iran. They profit either way.

I wan't to see israel shit themselves.
Actually, if you're looking to bomb nuclear disaster perpetrators, start with GE and include Senator Harold Reid - if anything happens to the power grid supplying these potential dirty bombs, these reactors will be popping like a popcorn popper on steroids. Thank the good senator for not allowing the safe disposal of radioactive waste which is stored on site under very precarious scenarios. No power, KAPOWEE - we get to glow for tens of millions of years. Iran is about as much a threat as a day old corpse.

GET THE GOD-DAMN COCKROACHES OUT OF HERE,
including the ugly one who's pretending to be a Tyler Durden.
This is totally false:
"... 20-percent level, which can easily be turned into fissile warhead material."
No ! It's a long ways from 20% to the minimum of 95% needed for real fusion. At 95%, it takes a several times more uranium than at 98%. Keep your shirt on ...
The Iranians announced years ago that they would prefer to buy 20% enriched uranium instead of going to the expense of making it themselves. Iran used to get its medical needs met with radioactive isotopes purchased from other countries. But under US/UK/Israel pressure, Argentina cut them off, and every other deal has fallen through. The West has refused to allow any serious negotiation that would allow Iran to meet its medical needs, and that fact is beyond dispute.
20% U235 is the world-wide industry standard starting point for producing a wide variety of isotopes with medical applications. So just chill out and stop your fantasies of another obscene war.
Ignorant cockroach bullshit like this comment from a Tyler Durden poseur, and the rat-pack of ignorant hateful warmonger comments, has gotten to be too common on Zerohedge. Six months ago, none of the Tylers wrote anything so ignorant and flat wrong.

Nukes need to be miniaturized so Everyone has one. Allow concealed carry. That'll fuck with the illuminazis.
I'm going here, back later:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU
No ! It's a long ways from 20% to the minimum of 95% needed for real fusion.
The core of the "Little Boy" atomic bomb contained 64 kg of uranium, of which 50 kg was enriched to 88%, and the remaining 14 kg at 50%.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boy
Later, I think that 90% enrichment was considered standard for weapons grade HEU. So 20% is not weapons grade yet.
I think that the separative work units needed to go from 0.7% to 20% are more than the separative work units needed to go from 20% to 90%. So at 20%, I think you are considerably more than half of the way to weapons grade.
Uranium can NOT support nuclear fusion, but only nuclear fission, fundamentally a totally different process.

If anything the oil market is pointing towards a soon-to-be conflict.
And the gold market is pointing towards Fiat being sound and sustainable.
How tragically ironic would it be if the US used nuclear bunker busters on Iran because it was afraid of Iran starting nuclear war. It's like this is some scene that was cut from Dr. Strangelove because it was too fucking stupid.
Speak for yourself. I learned to love The Bomb. Get with it!
Fuck! This mother might end like Dr Strangelove. Where's my shovel and redi-mix?
Does the IAEA have great timing or what?
Worked out great for Iraq, didn't it?
Iran is a signatory to the NNPT. They have a right under international law to enrich to 20%. There are also observers there. We do not need another Ahmed Chalabi lying about WMDs so the new Dick can start a war using Barry's Brain.
Then again, maybe the PTB want a war.
Go long on Iodine pills, nuke suits and shelter companies, Ma. This is gonna be a big'un!
Oh, yeah, better get some thick-ass Oakleys.

This is carefully planned, precisely orchestrated shadow puppet propaganda by both sides. The losers with top billing are the soldiers and civilians that will be sacrificed to cover for the impending financial crash. This stupid sabre rattling is to warn those who can afford it or are determined enough to get their asses out of the Persian Gulf before the fireworks start and the blood flows.
Prepare patriotic warmonging propaganda stage left and flag draped caskets stage right.
It's showtime folks!
Don'tcha love the entertainment industry!
Bullish for caskets and missiles!
Forget about 'green'.
Go heavy metal: U235, Pu240.

Ron Paul - War Propaganda AD
Nice vid.
Gotta get a war going quick before Ron Paul gets even more popular.
Some more news :
Israel = blah, blah, blah, blee, blee, blee must do it NOW!
Why not tomorrow? Or never?
Suggestion for Israel... Go back to southern Lebanon and get your asses kicked again. Short and sweet. If you can't handle hezbollah with all the help the US has provided you deserve to get your asses kicked.
No, I don't hate Israel or Jews... Just warmongers.
Fuck the chickenhawks.
I say we bomb them with aerosolized Jimmy Dean pork sausage, mixed with milk and shrimp, on a Saturday, during Passover.
But in all seriousness, since the subject has arisen here, I want to question anybody who actually believes that Israel is the "strongest ally" of the USA. Since an ally is part of an alliance, which implies a mutual self-defense relationship, let me ask you: just how does the massive subsidization of the state of Israel by the USA contribute in ANY WAY to the defense of the latter country? How is this in ANY WAY a two-way relationship? Isn't it in truth a ONE-way relationship, with the state of Israel playing the role of a parasite rather than a putative "ally"? And, given this fact, just why do so many US politicians not only support but vigorously defend this one-sided relationship?
Does not the USA's relationship with, and subsidization of, the state of Israel actually DETRACT from honest US defense, and put our nation's security MORE in danger than otherwise?
i will start training coachroaches to obey my commands, so I can rule the world, day after.
Forget it. It'll be just them and maybe Keith Richard.
Keith will wander the Upper West Side foraging for smokes. That's all he needs to get by.
Smokes and maybe some D'Marzio light gauge guitar strings.
And "Cher"!
Oh, no....Chaz won't make it? Say it isn't so!
