VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran's decision to keep preparing raw uranium for enrichment, a step on the way to making nuclear weapons, breaks the spirit though not the letter of its pledge to freeze all such activity, diplomats said on Tuesday.
Under a deal Iran reached with three EU nations to freeze all enrichment activity as of Nov. 22, preparing "yellowcake" uranium for enrichment is strictly prohibited. But the accord allowed Iran to finish some limited uranium conversion work that it had already begun before the suspension took effect. But Iran will now continue enrichment-related work until February, Western diplomats told Reuters.
I cannot fathom how anyone could conceivably believe that the Mullahs would live up to any international agreement governing a nuclear program when they have historically, routinely and consistently failed to live up to their obligations under the International Convention on Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child which expressively demands that all signatories prohibit the execution of children by the State.
