Iran continues to play with nuclear fire. And, they persist in North Korea-esque blackmailing of the civilized world. "Give us what we want or we'll continue our nuclear program. Of course, we'll continue our nuclear program anyway . . . "
The conversion process that Iran has said it is seeking to restart would convert uranium into UF-6 gas, which can be enriched to make fuel for generating electricity. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Iran has signed, permits it for that purpose -- but the gas can also be used to create highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.Is this going to end with the Iranian Isfanhan nuclear site suddenly becoming a smoking hole?
