TEHRAN, Iran — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed Thursday that Iran has produced its first batch of uranium enriched to a higher level, saying his country will not be bullied by the West into curtailing its nuclear program a day after the U.S. imposed new sanctions.
Ahmadinejad reiterated to hundreds of thousands of cheering Iranians on the anniversary of the 1979 foundation of the Islamic republic that the country was now a "nuclear state," an announcement he's made before. He insisted that Iran had no intention of building nuclear weapons.
It was not clear how much enriched material had actually been produced just two days after the process was announced to have started.
The United States and some of its allies accuse Tehran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to build nuclear weapons but Tehran denies the charge, saying the program is just geared toward generating electricity.
"I want to announce with a loud voice here that the first package of 20 percent fuel was produced and provided to the scientists," he said.
Enriching uranium produces fuel for a nuclear power plants but can also be used to create material for atomic weapons if enriched further to 90 percent or more.
"We have the capability to enrich uranium more than 20 percent or 80 percent but we don't enrich (to this level) because we don't need it," he said in a speech broadcast live on state television.
Iran announced Tuesday it was beginning the process of enriching its uranium stockpile to a higher level. The international community reacted by starting the process to impose new sanctions on Iran.
The U.S. Treasury Department went ahead on Wednesday and froze the assets in U.S. jurisdictions of a Revolutionary Guard general and four subsidiaries of a construction firm he runs for their alleged involvement in producing and spreading weapons of mass destruction.
Tehran has said it wants to further enrich the uranium — which is still substantially below the 90 percent plus level used in the fissile core of nuclear warheads — as a part of a plan to fuel its research reactor that provides medical isotopes to hundreds of thousands of Iranians undergoing cancer treatment.
But the West says Tehran is not capable of turning the material into the fuel rods needed by the reactor. Instead it fears that Iran wants to enrich the uranium to make nuclear weapons.
Ahmadinejad reiterated Iran's position that it was not seeking to build nuclear weapons.
"When we say we do not manufacture the bomb, we mean it, and we do not believe in manufacturing a bomb," he told the crowd. "If we wanted to manufacture a bomb, we would announce it."
"We told them the Iranian nation will never give in to bullying and illogical remarks," he said.
Western powers blame Iran for rejecting an internationally endorsed plan to export its low enriched uranium to have it further enriched abroad and returned to the country in the form of fuel rods for the Tehran reactor.
Iran, in turn, asserts it had no choice but to start enriching to higher levels because its suggested changes to the international plan were rejected.
The president said Iran will triple the production of its low-enriched uranium in the future but didn't elaborate.
"God willing, daily production (of low enriched uranium) will be tripled," he said.
A confidential document from the U.N. nuclear agency shared Wednesday with The Associated Press said Iran's initial effort at higher enrichment is modest, using only a small amount of feedstock and a fraction of its capacities.
The document, relying on onsite reports from International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors, also cited Iranian experts at the country's enrichment plant at Natanz as saying that only about 10 kilograms — 22 pounds — of low enriched uranium had been fed into the cascade for further enrichment.

But then again it says
[quote]Watch full episodes and 1000s of clips, all in German and English and available for free.[/quote]
and redirects me to some German website where there's really a thousand 1 minute clips but no full episode anywhere.
Also, there's Cartman in Lederhosen.
OT: Well, i say Ahmadinedjad is now a fucking attention whore.

:10bux:
They won't do shit. All this talk about nuking this country or that country is bullshit. It would only be a last resort because if they did deliberately nuke someone else, they would get nuked themselves. And really look back at North Korea, who we're actually somewhat neutral with now since President Clinton's visit. North Korea's leader is batshit crazy, and he might have nuked us just because of that, but I doubt Ahmadindjad will go that far unless he is forced to.

No, if they wanted to manufacture a bomb, they would announce it [i]after[/i] they built it so no one stops them.
I'm going to laugh when they fuck things up and cause a nuclear meltdown because they don't know shit about nuclear technology.
Let's nuke 'em :clint:

The iranians are probably doing a radioactive human project with that much
So they can been seen in the dark.
xD
OMG WTF IS THAT ITS A GLOWING IRANIAN WITH AN AK RUN!
Related: HOLY SHIT IRAN HAS NUKES?! NO FUCKING WAY!
Watch Israel Blow them all up tonight.
edit:
Oh wait, faux news.
FALSE ALARM EVERYBODY, IT'S JUST EMPEROR SCORPIOUS AGAIN
North Korea should totally get in conflict with Iran.
Imagine how amazing that would be. We could just sit back and watch them fuck each other up with their horribly engineered weapons.
ITT all the lefties who accused people of overreacting and claiming Iran really was just using the material for peaceful means have been proven wrong.

It would save the alliance a job :D
Russia could do a hell of alot of more damage to iran.. easily Russia can damage em quite alot They need to do that.
go full on attack and consume iraq destroying IEDs and Mines
And maybe germany should make the RATTE P1000 Landcruiser to slaughter iraq that would be mass devistation with that.
