As Iran said that they want to remove Israel from this planet, Israel will definitely strike first before Iran really become nuclear capable. They will want US to support also, but maybe this time round US may not as Iraq case. More unrest in the middle east in future, so oil price will shoot up |

The irony is that the US invaded Iraq on the pretext that it wanted to go Nuclear. Unfortunately, that was proven to be false. In the meantime, the 2 countries who have full capabilities to go Nuclear, North Korea and Iran, can now do so without fear because the US is now fully engaged in an unnecessary war. |

Iran Rejects UN Resolution, Pledges to Be Nuclear (Update1) By Ladane Nasseri Dec. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected a United Nations resolution imposing sanctions on his country as a ``scrap of paper'' and said the world would have to accept Iran as a nuclear power. The UN Security Council voted unanimously yesterday in favour of imposing sanctions on the Islamic Republic over its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment. The sanctions include a ban on materials and technology that could be used to build a nuclear bomb. Whether Western countries ``like it or not, Iran is a nuclear country and it is in their interest to live alongside a nuclear Iran,'' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying today by the state-run Fars news agency. Iran is the second-biggest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which pumps 40 percent of the world's oil. It sits on one side of the Straits of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. Nations including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait currently ship most of their crude exports through the waterway. The UN resolution requires Iran to halt uranium enrichment and heavy-water projects that the U.S. and its European allies have said may lead to the development of nuclear weapons. It freezes the financial assets of 12 named individuals and 11 groups such as the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. The measure also requires the UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, to report on Iran's compliance within 60 days. ``Further appropriate measures'' such as economic penalties and severance of diplomatic relations will be required if Iran doesn't comply, the resolution says. Nuclear Program The security council's vote will spur Iran to run its nuclear program ``in a firmer, more organized and more decisive way than before,'' Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quoted as saying today by state television. Iran will ``start the installation of 3,000 centrifuges in its uranium enrichment facility in Natanz,'' Hosseini said in a press conference today, according to the television report. Centrifuges produce concentrated uranium, which can be used in nuclear reactors or weapons. Iran says it needs the fuel to generate electricity. The Iranian parliament agreed today to discuss ``urgently'' a bill which urges the government to reconsider its cooperation with the IAEA, state television reported.
