The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says Iran is continuing its nuclear fuel enrichment in defiance of the U.N Security Council.

The United States and European members of the Council are urgently preparing a legally binding resolution demanding a halt to the enrichment program.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog agency has concluded that Iran has successfully enriched uranium, and is ignoring international calls to stop it. That is the main finding of an eight-page report sent to the Security Council Friday by IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei.

The report says more than three years of studying Iran's nuclear program have failed to determine whether it is aimed at producing weapons, and called on Tehran to be more cooperative.

American and European members of the Security Council seized on the report to push their case for an immediate and unified diplomatic response, while China and Russia urged caution.

1. Nothing the US can do. Iran is legally entitled to enrich uranium.

That's what a country gets for following the requirements of an important international treaty? Threats of sanctions and attacks?

Unbelievable.

3. This smells like IRAQ

Do they have WMDs? Will the UN get involved? How will the world react? What can the USA do? Is their leader a dangerous man? etc etc etc

DIDN'T WE DO THIS 3 AND A HALF YEARS AGO!?!?
