What could possibly go wrong? “Iran news report: Tehran will start using fastest centrifuges on day deal takes effect,” Times of Israel, April 8, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
Iran will begin using its latest generation IR-8 centrifuges as soon as its nuclear deal with the world powers goes into effect, Iran’s foreign minister and nuclear chief told members of parliament on Tuesday, according to Iran’s semi-official FARS news agency.
If accurate, the report makes a mockery of the world powers’ much-hailed framework agreement with Iran, since such a move clearly breaches the US-published terms of the deal, and would dramatically accelerate Iran’s potential progress to the bomb.
Iran has said that its IR-8 centrifuges enrich uranium 20 times faster than the IR-1 centrifuges it currently uses.
According to the FARS report, “Iran’s foreign minister and nuclear chief both told a closed-door session of the parliament on Tuesday that the country would inject UF6 gas into the latest generation of its centrifuge machines as soon as a final nuclear deal goes into effect by Tehran and the six world powers.”
It said that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) head Ali Akbar Salehi made the promise when they briefed legislators on the framework agreement, and claimed the move was permitted under the terms of the deal.
“The AEOI chief and the foreign minister presented hopeful remarks about nuclear technology R&D which, they said, have been agreed upon during the talks (with the six world powers), and informed that gas will be injected into IR8 (centrifuge machines) with the start of the (implementation of the) agreement,” FARS quoted Javad Karimi Qoddousi, a member of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, as saying.
Qoddousi said the Iranian Foreign Ministry plans to release a fact sheet presenting Iran’s version of the framework understandings in the next few days. “Those issues that have stirred serious concern among the Iranians will be revised and released in this fact sheet,” he said.
Earlier Tuesday, Israel Radio reported that Zarif told the lawmakers that Iran was capable of producing an atomic bomb at any given moment, but will refrain from doing so due to religious Islamic injunctions against such a move….
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad.

And just whom is surprised by this? Not me. People line up from days ahead to get tickets or new gadgets; men, and women too, love new cars and things….Kids love to open presents and don’t wait any longer than they have too..
And these worshippers of the wild beast of satan have been working day and night to get their new weapon…the one to use against Israel…so why should anyone expect them to use common sense, and common decency…which is not common among them…when their efforts to gain a new and terrible weapon of death have born fruit?

Well, why not? Are to have supposed that Hitler slowed down after the “Peace in our Tine” agreement with Chamberlain?
Jay Airahs says
Oops, you beat me to it GI.
I was off searching Google for the country specifics (Poland or Czechoslovakia ) but gave up.
gravenimage says
Jay, Chamberlain’s sick agreement threw Czechoslovakia under the bus. England had a treaty with Poland, and did finally enter the war in September of 1939 when Hitler invaded that country.
Of course, appeasement never works for long, if at all.
Spot On says
Graven, As Dick Cheney said, B.O. is taking America down. He leads from behind when it is convenient to that end and he leads from the front as is now convenient with Iran toward that same end.
It looks like he is trying to take down both little Satan and Big Satan.

And when they say Peace, Peace comes sudden ___________.
Jay Airahs says
Not to worry, the Obama administration has taken precautions to insure that their verbal agreement will be backed up in writing just like the agreement Neville Chamberlain made with Hitler.
“Peace For Our Time”
JMB says
Maybe it will go down in history as “Nukes for our time”

And when they say Peace!, Peace! then comes sudden D_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _N upon them.

Another triumph for Team USA – World Police.
Westman says
Looking at Kohmeini’s headdress, there might be a centrifuge hiding under it; the vibrations causing utterences like, “Yes, Death To America” , while his ambassador carries on nuclear negotiations.
Most likely the model number is IR-nuts.

Thank you Kerry and Obama. For your cleverness…

Goodbye World !!:-(

Faster centrifuges. That puts a whole new ‘spin’ on the so-called agreement.
The clowns have taken over the circus!
BC says
Does not anybody do joined up thinking in the White House/ The Iranians are building ICBMs. What for, they are not going to use them to put satellites in orbit.
Baucent says
Sounds like a case of “having your Cake (yellow Cake that is) and eating it”. A win,win for Iran, but Kerry might still get the Nobel Peace prize.

Affirmative action Magical Thinking bargaining against chessmasters. Who do you think won this round?
Robin Rosenblatt says
The Nuclear agreement with Iran will lead to our first nuclear war. Israel must attack Iran and destroy it completely so no one can occupy it. That is the only thing that might stop a World Wide Nuclear War.
Peter says
And why is no one talking about the North Korea connection?
Iran has developed significant ties with the Hermit Kingdom on nuclear weapons technology and ballistic missile delivery systems.
So, even if the so-called “deal” materializes, and it actually curbs Iran’s potential for developing nuclear weapons domestically, Iran could still outsource that development to North Korea, just as Saudi Arabia, which financed Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal (and the Jihad against India), can transfer money to Islamabad and get its own nuclear arsenal.

God help us. I am looking for the ‘Haman factor’.

So, where is Iran getting these IR-8 centrifuges? China?
Volumetric says
Bespoke (IR =Iran). See ISIS (Institute for Science and International Security ) web page.
Lucretius says
“…Zarif told the lawmakers that Iran was capable of producing an atomic bomb at any given moment…”
So there’s zero breakout time even now, and may even already have nukes. Unless perhaps he’s lying and is saying this so that through Israel Radio the Israelis may be bluffed into thinking it’s too late for a preemptive attack to be without the greatest consequence.
I wonder how Josh Earnest would spin a reply to this report.

obola is the worst excuse for a president that the US has ever had. His resignation is the only right thing he can do.

obama be damned (and he will be).
Message to Israel: Prepare your aircraft, deep penetration tactical nukes if necessary, get ready for the international firestorm…my heart, mind and prayers will be with you. The real God will trump allah (satan) and the final victory will be yours. Godspeed to you.
