Iran’s Nuclear Fuel Rod Doesn’t Pose Military Threat, U.S. Analysts Say

“This has some diplomatic significance and virtually no military significance,” James Acton, a senior associate in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, said yesterday in a telephone interview.

VERDICT: IRAN BEHIND 9/11: Federal Judge finds Iran and Hezbollah Culpable in Attacks

There are two names that are at the center of a case that helped lead U.S. District Court Judge George Daniels to sign documents that identify the state of Iran, Hezbollah, the Ayatollah, and others as being very involved in the September 11th attacks.
----------------------------------------

Abolghasem Mesbahi, an Iranian who fled that country when he was tipped off by a colleague that he was on the regime's kill list, provided what Daniels deemed credible testimony. According to court documents, after Mesbahi left Iran, he received coded messages three times within two months prior to the 9/11 attacks; those messages demonstrate Iran's foreknowledge of an operation known as “Satan in Fire,” a term used to describe an attack on the United States that ultimately succeeded.

The other individual who was instrumental in connecting Iran to the 9/11 attacks was a man named Imad Mughniyah, who essentially served as the Hezbollah leader that worked with al-Qaeda while receiving direction from Iranian officials. Mughniyah was assassinated in Syria in February of 2008.

The case, known as Havlish v. Iran, may provide the clearest evidence yet of Iran's involvement in the worst attack on American soil. Documents show that Mughniyah and 9/11 attackers traveled on flights together and that individuals involved were repeatedly allowed to pass through Iran without having their passports stamped.

Kephart, an immigration expert, warns that with Hezbollah's increased presence to America's south, the facts about Iran's involvement in 9/11 are now more important than ever.

Iran

wonder if Mr. Acton has an agenda?

[lawgator1]

Wait, now it was Iran who was behind 9/11?

I thought it was Iraq, for shizzle.

I guess we can attack Iran now, and then later when we need to have a reason we can go after Canada, too.

the Canadians have it coming, just ask Cartman.

Then you disagree with the ruling of the judge?

On what grounds?

You don't know much about hezbollah do you?

Do you remember the 231 Marines killed in Lebanon?

I neither agree nor disagree with the ruling of the judge. If it can be proven that Iran was involved in the 9/11 attacks, then it will be proven; if it cannot be proven, then I will dismiss it. Or, would you rather listen to one Federal Judge when even the entire coterie of national intel agencies from the US, the UK, France, Germany, and Russia were dead wrong regarding Saddam Hussein, WMD, and Iraqi links to 9/11?

Maybe they should not have been in Lebanon...?

It doesn't take all that much intelligence to understand why the Iranian mullahs celebrate a "Death to America" national holiday or are considered by everyone to be a state sponsor of international terrorism, regardless of what roll Iraq may have played.

I suppose you think the 35 year occupation of Lebanon by the Syrian army was a good thing?

Did you know most of hezbollah are arabs previosly expelled from Jordan? What business do they have in Lebanon?

Iran starts enriching uranium to 20 pct - IAEA | World | RIA Novosti

"The IAEA can confirm that Iran has started the production of uranium enriched up to 20 percent using IR-1 centrifuges in the Fordo Fuel Enrichment Plant," the agency said in a statement.

However, IAEA Spokeswoman Gill Tudor said that all nuclear materials and operations in the Fordo facility are “under the Agency's containment and surveillance."

Iranian officials earlier said the Fordo plant, deep inside the mountains near the central Iranian city of Qom, was build to produce 20-percent uranium needed for a research reactor in Tehran, which produces medical isotopes to treat cancer patients.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereydoon Abbasi said last August that Iranian authorities planned to transfer all enrichment facilities from a plant in Natanz to Fordo, citing insufficient security.
-----------------------------

This is a further escalation of their ongoing violations with regard to their nuclear obligations," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters.

"The fact that the IAEA has made clear that they are enriching to a level that is inappropriate at Fordo is obviously a problem," she went on.

UK Foreign Secretary William Hague described the move as "a provocative act that undermines claims that the program is civilian in nature."

The German foreign ministry expressed hope that the European Union will agree on a fresh round of sanctions against Iran during a meeting on January 30, because the start of operations at Fordo was “a step of further escalation.”

“With it, the international community’s concern that the Iranian nuclear program is serving military purposes is growing,” the ministry said in a statement. “So long as Iran does not move, there is no alternative to tough sanctions,” the statement said.

Finally, to anyone assuming China (and Russia) will sit idly by and wait as its marginal oil producer is subsumed by the west, even as it is now expected to overtake the US in oil imports in under 2 years, we have for sale a 5th lien on a reverse Chinese IPO of a company building bridges to non-existing timberlands.
