But it will do that peacefully, I’m sure. “Iran nuclear official says IAEA can inspect new plant,” from CNN, September 27 (thanks to James):
“God willing, this plant will be put into operation soon, and will blind the eyes of the enemies,” Fars reported Saturday, quoting a senior Iranian official.
The senior official, Hojjatoleslam Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani, heads the office of the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Also Saturday, the Web site of the Iran Student News Agency carried comments from an Iranian legislator who warned Western nations not to make Iran regret its cooperation with the IAEA.
“Western countries and the U.S. must not make Iran regret its cooperation with the IAEA beyond its legal obligations,” said Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chief of the Iran Parliament Commission for National Security and Foreign Policy.
He said Western criticism of Iran’s new facility is an “illogical and unrealistic” smear campaign.
