Meanwhile, in new developments on the DOWN WITH THE AMERICA front, Iran is planning to build more nuclear plants. Peaceful ones, of course. From WND, :
Iran’s Parliament is currently studying proposals on the construction of 20 new nuclear power plants and rejects American and European concerns Tehran is secretly building a nuclear arsenal, said a parliamentary leader.
National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman Aladdin Borujerdi told an Iranian news agency his committee is looking into proposals that he claims were offered to Iran before Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei took power during the lslamic Revolution in 1979. He said at the time Iran had several agreements with European contractors to build 23 reactors and that those agreements are still in effect.
Borujerdi sidelined American and EU charges that Iran is seeking to obtain fuel to construct nuclear bombs, claiming the irradiated material his country is seeking is needed for 20 new “peaceful” nuclear plants Tehran may construct. Iran has said it needs nuclear fuel for “civilian energy purposes.”
