Iranian uranium

A disturbing report in The Sunday Times:

Iran is seeking to import large consignments of bomb-making uranium from the African mining area that produced the Hiroshima bomb, an investigation has revealed.

A United Nations report, dated July 18, said there was “no doubt” that a huge shipment of smuggled uranium 238, uncovered by customs officials in Tanzania, was transported from the Lubumbashi mines in the Congo.

The shipment was headed "for the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas".

This much is obvious: "The disclosure will heighten western fears about the extent of Iran’s presumed nuclear weapons programme and the strategic implications of Iran’s continuing support for Hezbollah during the war with Israel."

And remember: This is from the U.N., not Cheney's office. This isn't some neoconservative plot to justify a new war against Iran.

We know that Iran is developing a nuclear program that may produce weapons. We know that Iranian President Ahmadinejad think that the only solution to the conflict in the Middle East is the elimination of Israel. We know that Iran supports, and arms, Hezbollah. We know that Hezbollah is firing missiles into Israel.

Get the picture?
