Unbelievable chutzpah alert: “Iran Invites U.S. to Bid on Power Plant,” from AP, with thanks to JE:
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran on Sunday offered the United States a share in building a new nuclear power plant in an apparent effort to curb U.S. opposition to its atomic program.
“America can take part in international bidding for the construction of Iran’s nuclear power plant if they observe the basic standards and quality,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said at a news conference.
Asefi was apparently talking about a 360-megawatt light water nuclear power plant in southwestern Iran, which the head of the country’s top atomic organization announced plans to build on Saturday.
