Iran hinted at the weekend that it could follow North Korea in abrogating its nuclear pledges if Washington took the ayatollahs to the UN security council because of suspicions about its nuclear programmes.

Speaking at a nuclear technology conference in Tehran, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Hassan Rowhani, voiced frustration with EU attempts to defuse the nuclear dispute.

He also threatened to cancel nuclear inspection agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and insisted Iran would retain a programme for manufacturing nuclear fuel, a process that can also yield the fissile material for nuclear warheads.

As a result of President George Bush's recent visit to Europe, Washington is reconsidering its policy on Iran and edging towards tacit support of the EU diplomatic track, which would reward Iranian concessions.

2. A savory little quote comes to mind....

A certain Mr. Il said, after Iraq was invaded, "They were invaded because they didn't have nuclear weapons".

meaning = if you have nukes, you will be safe.

What else are they going to think? It's the US itself that's pushing them to these extremes.
