how did we can say that the Iran Low-Enriched Uranium to Make atom bomb?
In their first appraisal of Iran’s nuclear program since President Obama took office, atomic inspectors have found that Iran recently understated by a third how much uranium it has enriched, United Nations officials said Thursday. The officials also declared for the first time that the amount of uranium that Tehran had now amassed — more than a ton — was sufficient, with added purification, to make an atom bomb. In a report issued in Vienna, the International Atomic Energy Agency said it had discovered an additional 460 pounds of low-enriched uranium, a third more than Iran had previously disclosed. The agency made the find during its annual physical inventory of nuclear materials at Iran’s sprawling desert enrichment plant at Natanz. Independent nuclear weapons experts expressed surprise at the disclosure and criticized the atomic inspectors for making independent checks on Iran’s progress only once a year. “It’s worse than we thought,” Gary Milhollin, director of the Wisconsin Projec
ARESU EQBALI AND FARHAD POULADI October 26, 2009 Iran said on Monday it could ship out some of its low-enriched uranium to be upgraded abroad or buy the fuel directly, as a UN team ended its inspection of a newly revealed atomic plant. Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran was mulling the UN-brokered deal which envisages sending Tehran’s low-enriched uranium (LEU) abroad to be converted into nuclear fuel, and would announce a decision within days. “For the supply of (nuclear) fuel, we may buy it like in the past or we may deliver a part of our (low-enriched uranium) fuel that we don’t need now,” Mottaki told the official IRNA news agency, indicating for the first time that Tehran could possibly agree to the UN-drafted deal. “Both options are on the table.” Mottaki is also the most senior official to talk about buying the fuel directly from a foreign supplier since the UN atomic watchdog-brokered deal was suggested earlier last week. The UN-brokered deal was proposed first by wo
