Iran Has Uranium Separation Machinery

(Tehran, Iran) This isn't good news.

From DailyTimes.com:
Iran said on Sunday it had developed machinery to separate uranium from its ore, part of the Islamic state's ongoing drive to become self-sufficient in nuclear technology.

The mixer-settler machinery was developed by Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation (IAEO), state television said.

"Unfortunately, because of the problems that exist, it was not possible for us to buy this machine from abroad and we had to build it domestically. Fortunately, we succeeded," an unidentified IAEO official said.
Although the Iranians deny it, they have been accused of developing a nuclear weapons program. Their frequent belligerent words, coupled with the threat of having a nuclear weapon and a missile delivery system, are not going unnoticed. I wonder how much longer the international community is going to just watch. My guess? Not much longer.
