Iran completes process of eliminating enriched uranium

[Vlerchan]

@DanceInTheDark:

Iran has turned all of its enriched uranium closest to the level needed to make nuclear arms into more harmless forms, the UN nuclear agency says.

The conversion of its stock of 20%-enriched uranium was part of a deal to curb Iran's nuclear programme.

The US said last week it would unblock $2.8bn in frozen Iranian funds in return for Iran's compliance.

A four-month extension to talks on Iran's nuclear ambitions was agreed on Friday between Iran and world powers.

The talks are aimed at persuading Iran to limit its nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.

The six world powers involved in the talks - the US, France, China, Russia, Germany and the UK - suspect Iran seeks atomic weapons, which Iran denies.

The country insists that it is enriching uranium for use in nuclear power stations and for medical purposes.

Promising sign

Correspondents say Iran's completion of eliminating its most worrying uranium stockpile is a promising sign that its leaders do not want to derail the diplomatic process.

A new report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says Iran is observing all of its other commitments as well.

Iran had more than 200kg of 20%-enriched uranium when the preliminary agreement to convert it was reached last November.

At 20%, enriched uranium can be converted quickly to arm a nuclear weapon and experts said 200kg was enough to make one nuclear warhead.

Negotiations between the six powers and Iran are set to resume in September, with the deadline for an agreement on 24 November.

Despite the news, the BBC's Bethany Bell says a long-term solution to Iran's nuclear ambitions still seems a long way off.

The parties have been unable to reach agreement on imposing long-term restrictions over Iran's uranium enrichment and plutonium production - processes that could yield material for nuclear warheads.

In a joint statement after last week's talks, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said: "There are still significant gaps on some core issues which will require more time and effort."

A deal could see the lifting of oil and trade sanctions on Iran.

God knows. If some stupid prats in the government of Iran or the likes decide to use what they have, then R.I.P world....

But I'm sure there is still sensible people up there and they have at least some commn sense and control over it

Well actually supreme leader of the nation and other grand religious leaders have issued serious religious orders against using and possessing of WMDs,so about Iran you can be sure no one likes to have any form of WMDs here.Iranians know it very well how WMDs taste!

Because we were discussing Iran nuclear programme the other day and I thought you would be interested.

I'm more worried about the US having nuclear weapons than Iran.

This.

Also, Iran should have proceeded in making of nukes. Unlike some of the most fanatic pro-Israel persons here like to think, Iran will not attack Israel. Even though their leaders seem to speak for destruction of Israel, I'm pretty sure they know that Israel has nuclear weapons and that they will literally destroy Iran if Iran attacks with nuclear bombs.They might hate Israel, but they are defenitely not stupid.

Islamic Republic just doesn't consider Israel as a legitimate state,but it doesn't mean that it intends to kill every Israelis who live in occupied lands today!Also,would you please tell me why Iran should have proceeded in producing WMDs,while it doesn't need them?

I'm worried that nuclear weapons actually exsist, they should never have been invented.

It wants to become a regional power and WMDs will strengthen their position in relation to that.

[Harry Smith]

What about Israel? I'm most scared about an apartheid state having them

[Left Now]

It wants to become a regional power and WMDs will strengthen their position in relation to that.

It will strengthen their power and influence,but meanwhile it will destroy many other things for them;this is why producing or even possessing WMDs is one of the most stupid things that a nation can do.Iran itself,has been a victim of WMDs.Political-military leaders of Iran know that what kind of stupidity it is to make and have them.

[Kurgg]

1. Islamic Republic just doesn't consider Israel as a legitimate state,but it doesn't mean that it intends to kill every Israelis who live in occupied lands today! 2. Also,would you please tell me why Iran should have proceeded in producing WMDs,while it doesn't need them?
1. Note that I said "Even though their leaders seem to speak for destruction of Israel". Destruction of Israel doe not neccessarily imply that they want the residents of Israel killed. They might only want the State of Israel gone. I don't know if they censor media there, but here is an article about Supreme Leader of Iran talking about destruction of Iran.

2. It would have strenghten you. Agreeing to not build nukes was just smooching of the US government, which dislike current government of Iran because of it's foreign policy.

That's right,but it is roughly translated as destruction of Israel.I think the "Disappearance of Israel from Palestine" would be a better phrase to describe it,though still even most radical people in our government believe that this disappearance cannot be done through violent ways.

Plus+ The only place in this world where media is not going to be censored is OUT OF THIS WORLD!I hope you understand what I mean...

Iran has always declared that its intentions for developing its nuclear program is peaceful and only for producing energy and medics.If we try to make any WMDs,then we are doing exactly what US wants us to do.

Also,it is not right to become like your enemies when you are denying that their logic and policies are correct.

[Kurgg]

Yeah, there will never be a media without any regulations on what is allowed to publish.

If we try to make any WMDs,then we are doing exactly what US wants us to do.
I would love to know that how will it help the US except that their media gets something to write of.

Also,it is not right to become like your enemies when you are denying that their logic and policies are correct.
There will be nothing to fight for if you agree with your enemy. Do not take this as that war and violence are good things.

They want us not to have Nuclear Energy at all,and we haven't agreed with them.Also,there are more important things than Iran Nuclear Program which Iran and US do not agree about them with each others;For example supporting Palestinian-sides by Iran and Israeli-sides by US in Palestinian-Israeli conflicts during last 30 years and many other things...

I know, that's wy I mentioned the destruction of Israel and posted this:

Also, the US supported the Shah, who was overthrown by the Islamic Revolutionaries.

That's right.

[Waleedbt]

Some Iranian were supporting the Shah.
Not everyone wanted him to be overthrown, i wonder how it would've been if he wasn't.

Anyways, yes if you go to the middle east, any arab country, and open any Geography book or a map, you will not see Israel. Heck! i only knew about the place when i was grade 9 or so.

Yes-the rich industrialists and others who profited from the Shah, it was one of the most corrupt nations in the world in the 1970's. The Shah was hated by almost every aspect of society-students, liberals, traditionalists, nobility and fundamentalists
