U.N.: Iran Has Tone of Gas for Nuke Bomb

[NVMojo]

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Iran has produced nearly seven tons of the gas used in uranium enrichment since last month, a U.N. report said Friday. Experts said that amount was enough to produce a nuclear bomb.

In unusually strong language, the report also said questions remain about key aspects of 18 years of clandestine nuclear activity on Iran's part despite more than two years of investigation by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

``The agency is not yet in a position to clarify some important outstanding issues after 2 years of intensive inspections and investigation,'' according to the confidential document, which was seen by The Associated Press. ``Iran's full transparency is indispensable and overdue.''

The report, prepared by IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei, came on the eve of an informal deadline for Iran to cease conversion activities at a nuclear facility in central Iran.

2. Besides- SO FUCKING WHAT?!

They'll only bomb people who meddle with them. My solution- stop meddling. Even if they have a bomb, they aren't going to go bombing people for no reason. Duh.

And yes, why did this come out now?
