Iran threatens to block nuke inspectors
By
Iran’s president has said he will not back down over Tehran’s nuclear program, despite the threat of referral to the UN Security Council. Is it just me or does this sound like the same way the whole Iraq conflict started just years ago?
In his first public reaction since European ministers called for the UN’s involvement, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would not concede “one iota”. Earlier, Iran threatened to halt snap inspections of its nuclear sites if it was referred to the Security Council. Iran denies claims it is covertly seeking to develop nuclear weapons. The crisis intensified this week when Iran removed seals at three nuclear facilities, ending a two-year freeze. Tehran says it plans to resume nuclear fuel research.
