UN readies 3rd round of Iran sanctions
Source: Jpost
26 January 2008 – As
the UN Security Council was preparing new sanctions that would step
up punitive action against Iran over its nuclear program, Iranian
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Friday that the five
permanent members of the council should "correct their past
mistakes" and draw up a resolution ending UNSC involvement in his
country's
nuclear affairs.

Meanwhile, in an interview to the Washington Post published Saturday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Israel believed Iran had a clandestine uranium enrichment program beyond the one in Natanz, and suspected it was already working on warheads for ground-to-ground missiles.
Barak said Israel believed "the Iranians are aiming at nuclear capability," even though "they may have slowed down the weapons [development] in 2003, because it was at the height of the American military campaign [in Iraq]."
"We think that they are quite advanced, much beyond the level of the Manhattan Project," Barak stated, referring to the codename of the US nuclear development project during World War II.
"It's clear that the real risk with Iran turning nuclear is that it will be the end of the non-proliferation regime because it will open the door on active proliferation," he said. "It's very dangerous that we will end up in 10 to 15 years with a nuclear device in the hands of terrorists."
Iran gets 7th shipment of nuclear fuel
Source: Jpost
27 January 2008 – Iran received the 7th shipment of nuclear fuel from Russia on Saturday for a power plant being constructed in the southern port of Bushehr, the official IRNA news agency reported.
The 11-ton consignment of enriched uranium arrived at the light-water Bushehr nuclear power plant on Saturday morning, with the final shipment of the fuel expected at a "determined time," the agency reported.
"Of 82 tons of initial fuel needed for the Bushehr nuclear power plant, 77 tons have been shipped to Iran so far," it added.
Iran received the first shipment of nuclear fuel from Russia on Dec. 17 after months of dispute between the two countries, allegedly over delayed construction payments for the reactor.
Iran has said Bushehr, the country's first nuclear reactor, will begin operating in the summer of 2008, producing half its 1,000-megawatt capacity of electricity.
Teheran heralded the
first shipment as a victory, saying it proved its nuclear program
was peaceful and not a cover for weapons development as claimed by
the US and some of its allies.
