Shocker: Iran Says it Will NOT Halt Nuclear Program
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, seen here in March 2008, vowed that Iran would press ahead with its controversial nuclear programme, two days after world powers said they had prepared a new package to end the crisis.
In a shocking revelation Iran’s Supreme leader, Ayatatollah Ali Khamenei, told the West to go to hell with attempting to stop him and the other Iranian Mullahs to develop their Allah-given right to develop nuclear
energyweapons.Iran’s top leader says his country will not bend to international pressure and give up its nuclear program, according to state television.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in all state matters, said Iran will continue its nuclear program despite Western efforts to thwart it with sanctions.
“No threat can hinder the Iranian nation from its path,” he said Sunday.
The U.N. Security Council has already imposed three sets of sanctions on Iran for its refusal to halt uranium enrichment. World powers agreed Friday to try again to lure Iran to the nuclear bargaining table with a repackaged set of incentives.
President Bush has “PUNTED” this issue to the next Presidency but nothing short of armed confrontation and destruction of Iran’s capacity to manufacture nuclear material including the missile delivery components will stop them.
The United Nations and the European Union have been failures in preventing Iran from further developing its nuclear program.
In the meantime, the uranium enrichment centrifuges continue to spin at Natanz and other clandestine sites spewing out enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb.
An Iranian puts the finishing touches to a slogan reading “Down with U.S.A” painted on a car windscreen in Tehran. Iran will reject any offer that violates its right to the full nuclear fuel cycle, the foreign ministry said on Monday after world powers said they had prepared a new package to end the atomic crisis.

Iran Nuclear Watch: Khamenei – Iran Will Outsmart “Drunken and Arrogant” West
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (R) shakes hands with General Yahya Rahim Safavi — the former chief of the Revolutionary Guards — while his newly-appointed successor General Mohammad Ali Jaafari looks on during a meeting in Tehran. Khamenei pledged that Iran will never yield to Western pressure over its nuclear program, and it would outsmart “drunken and arrogant” Western opponents in the standoff.
The Iran nuclear program, the Iranian government and Iran’s Mullahs who control the country are all over the place this weekend.
Iran announces they have met a uranium enrichment centrifuge goal of 3,000. This is disputed by the IAEA.
The British press reports that “war plans” have been finalized for a three day military blitz against Iran and their military plus nuclear facilities. Another UK newspaper asks whether Bush will bomb Iran?
In response, Iran President Ahmadinejad states he has “PROOF” that the United States will NOT attack Iran.
But, not to be seen as WEAK, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calls the United States and West names – “drunken and arrogant” and says that Iran would never yield to Western pressure over its nuclear program.
Where does the United States, its Allies, including Israel stand?
There will be renewed pressure to sanction Iran through the United Nations. However, without Chinese and Russian cooperation these sanctions will be MEANINGLESS.
In the meantime, President Bush has diplomatically defused a North Korean threat and has cut off Iran’s pipeline to advanced missile and nuclear technology from North Korea.
The “PROXY WAR” Iran has been waging against the United States in Iraq has been exposed and the United States is conducting clandestine military ops into Iran to gather intelligence and tactical advantage.
While Iran has been stalling to further develop their nuclear program, the United States has not been idle. Watch for increasing pressure immediately in the United Nations at first and if no result look for increasing OVERT military operations against Iran in the proxy war in Iraq.
If Iran were to confront the United States, then the President Bush will neutralize the threat.
Stay tuned………
Update:Â
There is also a move afoot to divest Iranian investment.

Michael Ramirez on Iran’s National Day of the Nuclear Technology
Iran announced Monday that it has begun enriching uranium with 3,000 centrifuges, a dramatic expansion of a nuclear program that has drawn U.N. sanctions and condemnation from the West. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at a ceremony at the enrichment facility at Natanz that Iran was now capable of enriching nuclear fuel ‘on an industrial scale.’ Asked if Iran has begun injecting uranium gas into 3,000 centrifuges for enrichment, top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani replied, ‘Yes.’ He did not elaborate, but it was the first confirmation that Iran had installed the larger set of centrifuges after months of saying it intends to do so.
Remember the Iranian Mullahs COVET nuclear weapons.

Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Announces Industrial Expansion of Uranium Enrichment on Iran’s National Day of the Nuclear Technology
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaks at a ceremony in Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz, 300 kms 186 (miles) south of capital Tehran, Iran, Monday April, 9, 2007. Iran announced Monday that it has begun enriching uranium with 3,000 centrifuges, a dramatic expansion of a nuclear program that has drawn U.N. sanctions and condemnation from the West. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at a ceremony at the enrichment facility at Natanz that Iran was now capable of enriching nuclear fuel ‘on an industrial scale.’ Asked if Iran has begun injecting uranium gas into 3,000 centrifuges for enrichment, top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani replied, ‘Yes.’ He did not elaborate, but it was the first confirmation that Iran had installed the larger set of centrifuges after months of saying it intends to do so.
AP: Iran Expands Uranium Enrichment
Iran announced Monday that it has begun enriching uranium with 3,000 centrifuges, defiantly expanding a nuclear program that has drawn U.N. sanctions and condemnation from the West.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at a ceremony at the enrichment facility at Natanz that Iran was now capable of enriching nuclear fuel “on an industrial scale.”
Asked if Iran has begun injecting uranium gas into 3,000 centrifuges for enrichment, top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani replied, “Yes.” He did not elaborate, but it was the first confirmation that Iran had installed the larger set of centrifuges after months of saying it intends to do so. Until now, Iran was only known to have 328 centrifuges operating.
Uranium enrichment can produce fuel for a nuclear reactor or the material for a nuclear warhead. The United States and its allies accuse Iran of intending to produce weapons, a charge the country denies.
Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz
An Iranian flag is seen outside the building housing the reactor of the Bushehr nuclear power plant at the Iranian port town of Bushehr, 03 April 2007.
So, while the feckless United Nations Security Council and the European Union have been talking and “negotiating with Iran, the Iranians have been growing their nuclear program.
Let’s see, Iran has ignored three United Nations resolutions calling upon them to halt uranium enrichment:
But, Iran doesn’t care – THE MULLAHS COVET NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
Iranian clerics greet each other after attending in a ceremony at Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz.
Notably, the United Nations sanctions have been tested by Iran and they simply are USELESS. Russia and China are complicit in Iran’s uranium enrichment program and must be held accountable – unless the West bows down to the GREAT IRAN and allows them to have a nuclear weapon.
Iranian state television reported Monday that an Iranian Revolutionary Guard general who is under travel restrictions urged by the sanctions has visited Russia without any difficulty.
Gen. Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, who is also deputy interior minister for security affairs, was quoted on the state TV Web site as saying that his six-day journey to Moscow, which ended Monday, showed “the ineffectiveness of the resolution.”
The resolution urges all governments to ban visits by the 15 individuals and says that should such visits occur – presumably for exceptional circumstances – the countries should notify a U.N. committee.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Krivtsov confirmed that Zolqadr visited Russia. He told The Associated Press that the resolution does not prohibit visits by the listed individuals, but calls for heightened vigilance “directed first of all at people who are directly related to nuclear programs” – suggesting that Zolqadr was not.
ABC News has reported that Iran will possess a nuclear bomb by 2009. There is no reason to believe this will not be the case. Iran has stalled for years. Now the United States and Israel either must take action or acquiesce to the idea that Iran will become a nuclear power – like Jacques Chirac let slip.
The “NUCLEAR POINT OF NO RETURN” HAS BEEN REACHED
World powers won’t thwart Iran nuclear drive: Ahmadinejad
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday vowed that world powers would not be able to stop Iran’s nuclear drive and that the Islamic republic would defend its atomic programme “to the end.”
“The great Iranian nation, which for past centuries has been a pioneer of science, will not allow some bullying powers to put obstacles in its path of progress by influencing the international community,” he said in a speech.
“We will go on to reach the summits,” he added in a keynote address at Iran’s ultra-sensitive uranium enrichment plant in Natanz.
And like the British humiliation of last week, the Mullahs and Ahmadinejad will rub the West’s nose in it.
Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani, answers questions from media at Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz.
With today’s announcement the hatred of the Great Satan was on display:
Iranian students burn mock US and British flags outside Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization in Tehran, 09 April 2007.
Iranian female students stand on a representation of a U.S flag and a representation of a British Union flag during a gathering to show their support to their country’s nuclear activities, marking “National Day of the Nuclear Technology”, in front of the Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization in Tehran, Iran, Monday, April 9, 2007.
An Iranian student steps on a paper hat designed with an image of a U.S. flag as she stands in front of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization in Tehran during a rally to mark the country’s national day of nuclear technology.
How will the United States and Israel respond?
Will it be back to the United Nations for more sanctions?
Will they militarily take out the facilities?
Will they surrender?
As Flap said yesterday – TIME TO SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT.
Stay tuned……

Iran Nuclear Watch: If Attacked Iran Would Strike United States Interests Around the World
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaks in Tehran, January 8, 2007. Khamenei said on Thursday the Islamic Republic would target U.S. interests around the world if it came under attack, state television reported.
AP: Iran to hit U.S. interests if attacked
Iran’s supreme leader said Thursday that if the United States were to attack Iran, the country would respond by striking U.S. interests all over the world — the latest sharp exchange in an escalating standoff between the two countries.
The comments by Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei came on the same day that another top official, Tehran’s ambassador to the
United Nations, Javad Zarif, warned in a column in The New York Times that efforts to isolate Iran would backfire on the United States, increasing sectarian tensions in the volatile Middle East, including Iraq.And this bloviating threat means something to the United States and Israel?
Is Khamenei naive enough to believe that should there be ANY attack by Iran on the United States that we would be at WAR against Iran. And war mean the uses of America’s nuclear arsenal.
Flap thinks Khamenei wishes to stir up the Iranian people to encourage them to fight “The Great Satan.”
What Mr. Supreme Leader is actually accomplishing is their death and destruction.
Tick Tock Tick Tock
The “NUCLEAR POINT OF NO RETURN” is here and another American Aircraft Carrier Strike Group will be arriving soon.
Stay tuned……

Iran Nuclear Watch: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – Iran Will NEVER Abandon Development of Nuclear Technology
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaks in Tehran January 8, 2007. Khamenei said on Monday Tehran would never yield to international pressure to deprive it of its right to nuclear technology, state radio said.
Reuters: Iran will never abandon nuclear work: Khamenei
Iran’s highest authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Monday Tehran would not give up its development of nuclear technology in the face of Western pressure, state media reported.
“The Iranian nation surely will not abandon its right and Iranian officials have no right to deprive the nation of its right,” Khamenei was quoted as saying on the occasion of the Shi’ite Muslim feast of Eid al-Ghadir.
Khamenei, who was shown on television addressing visiting clerics from the holy city of Qom, was making his first public appearance since rumors appeared on Web sites on Thursday that he had died. Iran last week denied the reports.
Khamenei has the final say on all state matters in the Islamic Republic, including the nuclear standoff with the West.
Of course NOT. Iran’s Mullahs COVET a nuclear weapon.
The Mullahs like Khamenei and Ahmadinejad have been consistent over many years.
However…..
Israel and the United States will not wait much longer.
And some consider war imminent.
Stay tuned…….
