AP: Iran: ‘Too late’ to stop nuclear program

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that it was “too late” to stop Iran’s nuclear program and warned the U.S. and its allies not to push for new U.N. sanctions, comparing his country to a lion sitting quietly in a corner.

“We advise them not to play with the lion’s tail,” Ahmadinejad said, drawing applause from a room of reporters, Iranian officials and foreign dignitaries at a Tehran news conference.

“It is too late to stop the progress of Iran,” Ahmadinejad said. “Iran has passed the point where they wanted Iran to stop.”

The U.N. Security Council is preparing to debate a third set of sanctions against the Islamic republic in response to Tehran’s continuing refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, which can produce fuel for civilian energy or fissile material for a bomb.

Addressing the West, Ahmadinejad said that a third round of sanctions will only “make things harder for you and distances you from resolving the issue … We advise them to give up stubbornness and childish games.”

Ahmadinejad MAY be RIGHT.

The “NUCLEAR POINT OF NO RETURN” is at hand but neither Israel nor the United States show any proclivity in stopping Iran achieve nuclear “BREAKOUT CAPABILITY.”

So, what would additional United Nations sanctions do? Iran has ignored the previous UN resolutions:

UNSC Resolution 1696 (2006)

UNSC Resolution 1737 (2006)

UNSC Resolution 1747 (2007)

By fiddling while Rome has burned, the United States and Israel have allowed Iran to achieve nuclear “statehood” while insisting the Iran shall never obtain a nuclear weapon.

Mr. President, if Iran does not obey United Nations security Council Resolutions and halt uranium enrichment, military operations to hobble/destroy their nuclear program are required.

The time to act is NOW.
