Iran resumes nuclear activities

Resumption of nuclear activities in Isfahan and Natanz necessitates referral of mullahs' nuke file to UN Security CouncilResumption of nuclear activities in Isfahan and Natanz necessitates referral of mullahs’ nuke file to UN Security Council

The clerical regime announced, "according to the decision by senior officials" and "by sending a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency, nuclear activities on the production of UCF in Isfahan will begin this week, before Mohammad Khatami’s tenure ends," the state-controlled news agency, Fars, reported yesterday. It quoted "informed sources" as saying, "probably part of the nuclear activities in Natanz will resume shortly."
Fars added that the Supreme Leader’s representative in the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, had asked Khatami to resume nuclear activities before the end of his presidency.
The mullahs’ brazen decision, despite all the concessions it has received from the European Union in the past two years, makes its crystal clear that no amount of political, economic and security incentive would dissuade the clerical regime from continuing its nuclear weapons program. Much less, the mullahs are complaining that the EU’s new offer "does not take into consideration the Islamic Republic’s minimum demands."
Needless to say, during the 21-month talks with the EU, the clerical regime has been working feverishly to complete the necessary steps to produce the nuclear bomb. Tehran’s nuclear point man, Hassan Rowhani boasted last week, "On the surface, it may appear that we have accepted the suspension. In truth, we alleviated a lot of our deficiencies during this period… We did not suspend Isfahan for even one second. Arak was never suspended."
The Iranian Resistance underscores that nothing has helped the ruling theocracy to inch closer to obtaining the nuclear bomb than EU’s appeasement policy. Thus there is no longer any justification for continuing these failed negotiations and the mullahs’ nuclear file must be immediately referred to the United Nations Security Council for the adoption of binding decisions.
