U.S. Warns Iran Against Resuming Nukes

AP Diplomatic Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Any move by Iran to resume nuclear activity would prompt the United States to try to put the issue before the United Nations for possible punitive action, the State Department warned Thursday.

That process would begin with an immediate U.S. call for the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency's board of governors to meet in Vienna, State Department spokesman Tom Casey said.

But ``for the moment, as long as they are maintaining the suspension there is not an immediate need for such a meeting,'' he said.


The International Atomic Energy Agency could report Iranian violations to the U.N. Security Council, which then would decide whether to impose economic and political sanctions on Iran.

And who represents the US in this U.N. Security Council? ... John Bolton!

11. Probably right
since you "do not release new products in August", expect the push to increase right after 9/11/05.

6. Iran knows good and well
that if they DO get a nuke, they will NOT be attacked by us, its only countires WITHOUT nukes we will be attacking. So that means, either Iran gets a bomb and its SHTF, or theres a new war.

(lets also not forget North Korea, which is even worse)
