Iran today sent a defiant signal to the international community by announcing plans to build 10 uranium enrichment plants days after it was condemned by the UN for concealing activities that are feared may be designed to produce an atomic bomb.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government said the plants would be the same size as the main enrichment complex at Natanz, central Iran, and work would begin within two months.

“We have a friendly approach towards the world but at the same time we won’t let anyone harm even one iota of the Iranian nation’s rights,” the president said. The aim was to produce 250-300 tonnes of nuclear fuel a year by using centrifuges with a higher speed.

    The West should wake up!
    Given the overwhelming amount of evidence, anyone who doubts that Iran is actively seeking technology to build nuclear weapons is simply delusional. Those who believe the Iranian regime is willing to forgo what it sees as the divinely inspired mission of eliminating Israel are, at best, dangerously naïve. Those who think Iranian leaders are more worried about survival than reaching paradise and attaining Islam’s ultimate victory, are not listening with open ears. All too many Westerners fall prey to the soft bigotry that presumes men like Ahmadinejad are incapable of saying what they mean and meaning what they say.
