Iran Decides To Block Nuclear Inspections

And the game begins. We've been here before and we know what the end result will be unless military action is the end result.

Iran wants nuclear weapons and will do anything to get them. The IAEA is toothless and cannot enforce the NNPT (Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty) on its own. The UN provides sternly and harshly written love notes to the mullahs, who in turn laugh at the impotence of the UN to stop them.

The writing has been on the wall for quite some time.

Iran was a recipient of the AH Khan Pakistani network that provided nuclear technologies and materials. They've even admitted as much.

Iran defied an agreement with the three European countries, Britain, France and Germany in August and resumed activities at one of its nuclear sites near the city of Isfahan.

It further complicated diplomacy last week after it fed a new batch of uranium into the facility. The work includes converting mined uranium, known as yellowcake, into a gas, uranium tetra-fluoride, or UF4, a step before enrichment.

In a report on Friday, the head of the international nuclear agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, praised Iran's "transparency and indispensable" cooperation but also urged it to suspend its enrichment-related activities and to allow inspectors to visit a military site, Lavizan Shian, near Tehran.

ElBaradei is a fool if he thinks that this is transparency and cooperation. He's supposed to be enforcing nonproliferation, and all we've seen is North Korea and Iran march closer to obtaining nuclear weapons despite his bland statements.
