Iran Announces Success in Uranium Enrichment

(Tehran, Iran) President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced today that Iran has successfully produced enriched uranium for the first time.

From BREITBART.com:

In a nationally televised speech, Ahmadinejad called on the West "not to cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of Iranians" by trying to force Iran to abandon uranium enrichment.

"At this historic moment, with the blessings of God almighty and the efforts made by our scientists, I declare here that the laboratory-scale nuclear fuel cycle has been completed and young scientists produced enriched uranium needed to the degree for nuclear power plants Sunday," Ahmadinejad said.

"I formally declare that Iran has joined the club of nuclear countries," he told an audience that included top military commanders and clerics in the northwestern holy city of Mashhad. The crowd broke into cheers of "Allahu akbar!" or "God is great!" Some stood and thrust their fists in the air.

I'm convinced that no rational human being believes that Iran is interested in nuclear power plants. The "nuclear club" referred to by Ahmadinejad generally means nuclear weapons, not power plants. Otherwise, Brazil, Sweden, Canada and others would be in the nuclear club.
