Yahoo News<\/a> posted a Reuters article today about Iran beginning to fuel its nuclear reactor.  Russia is providing the fuel for Bushehr, a nuclear facility that Iran claims will be used to provide electric power to its people.  Russia built the reactor at Bushehr and is committed to fueling it and to taking away the spent fuel rods.<\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

\n

“Iran, which says its nuclear program is entirely peaceful, said it needed to enrich to that level as a deal with major world power and the IAEA to supply special fuel for a medical reactor in Tehran had fallen apart.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Reacting to the Bushehr opening, British Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt said: “We have always respected <\/em>Iran’s <\/span>right<\/span><\/em><\/font><\/a> to develop an exclusively civil nuclear power program.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The problem is Iran’s continued refusal to satisfy the IAEA and international community that its work on uranium enrichment and heavy water projects are exclusively peaceful,” he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Israel, widely assumed to be the only Middle East country to have nuclear weapons, has said a nuclear-armed Iran would be a threat to its existence, raising concerns Israel could attack Iran’s nuclear sites.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Iran has always claimed that its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes, but its rhetoric against Israel has always been anything but peaceful.  The fueling of this reactor will probably result in an air strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities at some point in the near future.  The questions remains whether the strike will be done with or without the consent of the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
