Iran Tells Saudis To F*** Off On Proposal To End Nuke Crisis
Is this the same “secret proposal” that Putin recently offered?
TEHRAN, Nov 3 (AFP) Nov 03, 2007
Iran on Saturday rejected a proposal by its Gulf Arab neighbours to set up a uranium enrichment plant in a neutral country outside the Middle East to resolve a crisis over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
“While we are cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the nature of our nuclear work, we will continue the uranium enrichment activities on our soil,” deputy Supreme National Security Council head Javad Vaeedi was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.
“Creation of a consortium to provide enriched uranium is fine as far as it does not require Iran to halt enrichment on its soil,” he added.
“If it requires a halt to enrichment in Iran, then it is not acceptable. A plan like this was offered to Iran by Russia previously but it was rejected,” he said.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal was quoted as telling the Middle East Economic Digest (MEED) on its website that Gulf Arab states had come up with a compromise aimed at defusing the crisis between the West and Iran over its disputed nuclear programme.
The plan would allow Tehran to continue developing nuclear energy while removing fears that the project was a cover for an atomic weapons drive.
On Friday, the “E3″ of Britain, France and Germany, plus the United States, Russia and China, backed a drive for a third UN Security Council resolution and vote on Iran, unless upcoming reports showed “a positive outcome”.
The Security Council has already passed two resolutions imposing sanctions in response to Iran’s failure to heed ultimatums to halt enrichment activities and the United States is pushing for a third.
Iran and the IAEA agreed on a timetable in August for Tehran to provide answers to outstanding questions over its nuclear programme.
Tehran has rejected Western charges of trying to build atomic weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear programme. It maintains it wants to produce electricity for its ever growing population.

November 3rd, 2007 at 3:30 pmDiplomacy was tried and tried, even the Saudis tried. Only option now is for the dogs of war to be unleashed against the mighty Iranian military machine (rotflmao!).
Won’t Ahmadinejad is going to be surprised when the 12th medhi doesn’t appear from the dried up water well and save Iran and the faithful!
Doesn’t it sound a bit like Barbarossa the medieval German king. Legend says he is not dead, but asleep with his knights in a cave in Mount Untersberg in Germany, and that when the ravens cease to fly around the mountain he will awake and restore Germany to its ancient greatness. He overslept when Germany was in dire need. Me thinks the 12th medhi will oversleep too!!!
November 3rd, 2007 at 4:29 pmWell, Barbarossa had been asleep in that cave for centuries, he’s probably still taking his morning dump and hasn’t had a cup of coffee yet. Some things you just can’t rush. Such as God, all of this ‘let’s wake up the medhi’ shit is nothing but blasphemy, really.
