Ahmadinejad: Iran to reveal new nuke achievements

President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a controversial figure both within Iran and internationally. He has been criticized domestically for his economic lapses and disregard for human rights. He launched a gas rationing plan in 2007 to reduce the country's fuel consumption, and cut the interest rates that private and public banking facilities could charge. He supports Iran's nuclear energy program. His election to a second term in 2009 was widely disputed and caused widespread protests domestically and drew significant international criticism. In 2011 the presence of a so-called deviant current among his aides and supporters led to the arrest of several of them.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran will soon unveil big new nuclear achievements, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday while reiterating Tehran's readiness to revive talks with the West over the country's controversial nuclear program.

Ahmadinejad spoke at a rally in Tehran as tens of thousands of Iranians marked the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution that toppled the pro-Western monarchy and brought Islamic clerics to power.

Ahmadinejad did not elaborate on the upcoming announcement but insisted Iran would never give up its uranium enrichment, a process that makes material for reactors as well as weapons.

The West suspects Iran's nuclear program is aimed at producing atomic weapons, a charge Tehran denies, insisting it's geared for peaceful purposes only, such as energy production.

Four rounds of U.N. sanctions and recent tough financial penalties by the U.S. and the European Union have failed to get Iran to halt aspects of its atomic work that could provide a possible pathway to weapons production.

Within the next few days the world will witness the inauguration of several big new achievements in the nuclear field, Ahmadinejad told the crowd in Tehran's famous Azadi, or Freedom, square.

Iran has said it is forced to manufacture nuclear fuel rods, which provide fuel for reactors, on its own since international sanctions ban it from buying them on foreign markets. In January, Iran said it had produced its first such fuel rod.

Apart from progress on the rods, the upcoming announcement could pertain to Iran's underground enrichment facility at Fordo or upgraded centrifuges, which are expected to be installed at the facility in the central town of Natanz. Iran has also said it would inaugurate the Russian-built nuclear power plant in the southern port of Bushehr in 2012.

Iran's unchecked pursuit of the nuclear program scuttled negotiations a year ago but Iranian officials last month proposed a return to the talks with the five permanent U.N. Security Council members plus Germany.

Iran is ready for talks within the framework of equality and justice, Ahmadinejad repeated on said Saturday but warned that Tehran will never enter talks if enemies behave arrogantly.

In the past, Iran has angered Western officials by appearing to buy time through opening talks and weighing proposals even while pressing ahead with the nuclear program.

Washington recently levied new penalties aimed at limiting Iran's ability to sell oil, which accounts for 80 percent of its foreign revenue, while the European Union adopted its own toughest measures yet on Iran, including an oil embargo and freeze of the country's central bank assets.

Israel is worried Iran could be on the brink of an atomic bomb and many Israeli officials believe sanctions only give Tehran time to move its nuclear program underground, out of reach of Israeli military strikes. The U.S. and its allies argue that Israel should hold off on any military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities to allow more time for sanctions to work.

Before Ahmadinejad spoke Saturday, visiting Hamas prime minister from Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, also addressed the crowd, congratulating Iranians on the 1979 anniversary and vowing that his militant Palestinian group would never recognize Iran's and Hamas' archenemy, Israel.

Also at the Tehran rally, Iran displayed a real-size model of the U.S. drone RQ-170 Sentinel, captured by Iran in December near the border with Afghanistan. Iran has touted the drone's capture as one of its successes against the West.

The state TV called the drone is a symbol of power of the Iranian armed forces against the global arrogance of the U.S.

The report broadcast footage of other rallies around Iran, saying millions participated in the anniversary celebrations, many under heavy snowfall.

Environment today is getting really bad because of the pollution. The world concern is the earth gets abused by contaminated water ;and air ;by nuclear tests and human get so scare when there is another nuclear production going on…the biggest fear is Nuclear Bomb. Some of you may recall from WW II and Hiroshima Atomic bomb in 1945.

The following youtube shows Truman Policies: The Atomic Bomb In WW II.

It is the Current environmental problems. Effects of Nuclear bomb/Atomic bomb on humans will be creating unspeakable figure of dead body or disabled human which we can’t imagine as we are human. Our God/Allah created all of us and He is expecting to take care of each other. The following video shown the Nuclear/Atomic bomb effects.

UN: The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, having met at Stockholm from 5 to 16 June 1972,having considered the need for a common outlook and for common principles to inspire and guide the peoples of the world in the preservation and enhancement of the human environment,

The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world; it is the urgent desire of the peoples of the whole world and the duty of all Governments.

The natural resources of the earth, including the air, water, land, flora and fauna and especially representative samples of natural ecosystems, must be safeguarded for the benefit of present and future generations through careful planning or management, as appropriate which relates that the Montreal Protocol's success in curbing ozone depletion and how can we apply them to global climate change. Which has been talked about EPA officials and industry leaders discuss the need for sound science, a flexible international agreement, and business innovation. This video by Steve Dorst was prepared for the Carnegie Council program, Global Policy Innovations, in October 2007.

United Nation Environment Programme is also continue to pursuing for The Montreal Protocol's success in curbing ozone depletion and how we can apply them to global climate change. You can see more detail via or United Nations Environment Programme

UNite to Combat Climate Change is the United Nations campaign to encourage civil society and communities around the world to unite and act to combat climate change.

Countries around the world have been actively involved to cut their emissions and work together to fight climate change by boosting renewable energy, promoting investments in green technologies, conserving the planet’s natural carbon sinks and setting clear limits on emissions for industry and business.

The UNite campaign was launched in New York in October 2008. UNEP devised the campaign theme in close collaboration with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the UN Communication Group Task Force and the Secretary-General’s Climate Change Support Team.

The Billion Tree Campaign and Climate Neutral Network (CN Net) are two examples of programmes linked to the UNite campaign.

Most of the corporate including Boeing co, Microsoft, Starbucks, wayerhouser, University of Washington, MIT, and many other businesses, community have joined this journey around the world
to United to Combat Climate Change in many ways and continue to see the stronger bonded of work nation to nation and around the world. One of the great examples of Climate Change commitment Action which  is showing as sustainability for aviation industries: Parties all over the cross industries are participating the climate change commitment and action including Boeing with industry partners, suppliers, Airlines, airport, air traffic management for sustainability which involved in that process for today’s sustainable energy need.
  Aviation is one of the few industrial sectors with a globally coordinated approach to addressing its emission footprint.

This approach included targets of 1.5 percent efficiency improvements per year until 2020, emissions growth capped at 2020 levels, and a 50 percent reduction in net emissions by 2050 (from a 2005 baseline). 


You are about to see the unique way of environmental support which is 86 percent of the material can be reused or recycled. This includes approximately 10,000 tons of structural steel, 100,000 tons of concrete and 900 tons of precious, old-growth timber. Instead, the buildings are being carefully taken apart, section by section, piece by piece, so that  Boeing's the natural habitat and saving environmental water and providing fresh air as removing contaminants to recycling as fresh water to flow while simultaneously, Boeing is cleaning up from past practices and restoring more than half a mile of shoreline along the Duwamish Waterway to its natural habitat. There is also a new storm water treatment system in development that will remove any contaminants from the storm water before discharging it into the waterway: See below:

There are many ways you can help combat climate change. You can see the nations are trying to keeping their land clean and trying to keep fresh air as keeping garden or keeping water clean Washington state is another example to show Keeping Our Pacific Northwest Water Clean. You will be able to see and learn the important steps to follow to site, design, construct, and maintain a beautiful landscape feature that captures and filters polluted runoff, helps prevent flooding, recharges our groundwater aquifers, and creates habitats. This video complements the WSU and OSU handbooks on creating rain gardens, expands on some of the ideas in those books, and includes helpful resources for the viewers who may be interested in.

Here is another example of green action:

King County is another example to reduce its carbon footprint and to prepare for anticipated changes for climate changes commitment action which will effectively benefits for tax payers as reducing energy cost as protecting the nature disaster as providing green tools.

Regardless United Nations Environment Programme is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations, Iran has said it is forced to manufacture nuclear fuel rods, which provide fuel for reactors, on its own since international sanctions ban it from buying them on foreign markets. In January, Iran said it had produced its first such fuel rod.

Meanwhile, media is showing that Pantagon talks about the capable of destroying hidden exposure places of objects for harming the environment however seeking for upgrades amid Iran concerns.


Speaking of concerning Iran's nuclear and supporting of UNite campaign support: according to Chicago Tribune news report, there are efforts to reduce the world's dependence on Iranian oil have had mixed results, how major importers have reached.


You can see the European Union buys 18 percent of Iran's oil exports, but the purchases represent a small part of each country's total oil imports.

The United Nations Development Programme has launched in 2003 a specific project called the Chernobyl Recovery and Development Major release of radio active material with widespread health and environmental effects requiring implementation of planned and extended countermeasures

There have been 3 worst nuclear disasters:

Chernobyl disaster, 26 April 1986. A power surge during a test procedure resulted in a criticality accident, leading to a powerful steam explosion and fire that released a significant fraction of core material into the environment, resulting in a death toll of 56 as well as estimated 4,000 additional cancer fatalities (official WHO estimate) among people exposed to elevated doses of radiation. As a result, the city of Chernobyl (pop. 14,000) was largely abandoned, the larger city of Pripyat (pop. 49,400) was completely abandoned, and a 30 km exclusion zone was established.  This accident caused 125,000 square miles in the Ukraine and Russia to be exposed to radiation.

An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. It is widely considered to have been the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale which ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles, crippling the Soviet economy.

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, a series of events beginning on 11 March 2011. Rated level 7 on 11 April 2011 by the Japanese government's nuclear safety agency. Major damage to the backup power and containment systems caused by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami resulted in overheating and leaking from some of the Fukushima nuclear plant's reactors.   Each reactor accident was rated separately; out of the six reactors, three were rated level 5, one was rated at a level 3, and the situation as a whole was rated level 7.  An exclusion zone of 20 km was established around the plant as well as a 30 km voluntary evacuation zone.

It is the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986

According to Kyoto News, dated Feb. 8th, 2012,

Mousavian is still considered as a skillful diplomat among diplomatic circles, including Japan which is now compelled to reduce the volume of its oil imports from Iran following sanctions against the country by the United States and the European Union.

According to Mousavian who seemed to maintain contacts with diplomats and specialists inside and outside Iran, the Russian proposal calls for a ''step by step'' approach that stipulates that both Iran and P5-plus-one take concrete measures to resolve the nuclear problems.

As ''Step 1,'' Iran should take action to limit its uranium enrichment program to just one existing site at Natanz and Iran is also prohibited from adding new centrifuges or producing new-generation centrifuges. In return for this, P5-plus-one would suspend part of the international sanctions stipulated in the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1929.

In the next phase, Iran would allow the IAEA's surveillance of centrifuges and implement an additional arrangement with the IAEA for enhanced design inspection of nuclear-related facilities, while Iran's enriched uranium production rate would be limited to 5 percent or lower, far below the weapon-grade enrichment rate of 90 percent. The P5-plus-one side would begin gradually lifting the unilateral sanctions by the United States and key European nations.

During ''Step 3,'' Iran would implement an additional protocol with the IAEA -- an agreement between the nuclear watchdog and each nation that would allow broader and more intrusive IAEA inspections of atomic energy facilities. At the same time, P5-plus-one would suspend all U.N. Security Council sanctions.

In the next and last stage, Iran should suspend all uranium enrichment and related activities for three months, while P5-plus-one would begin final lifting of all sanctions and remove the Iranian nuclear dispute from the IAEA Board of Governors agenda. The P5-plus-one side would also start to implement ''incentives on cooperation in different fields.''

''One reason why eight-year negotiations between P5-plus-one and Iran failed is that P5-plus-one are not ready for any package which includes legitimate right of enrichment for Iran under NPT,'' Mousavian said.

''If Western states are sincere, a diplomatic solution would not be complicated,'' he added.

The UNite campaign was launched in New York in October 2008. UNEP devised the campaign theme in close collaboration with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the UN Communication Group Task Force and the Secretary-General’s Climate Change Support Team. This is another big major to take care for radio active material with widespread health and environmental effects requiring implementation of planned and extended countermeasures. Nuclear concern is a big major environmental  concern which is climate change matter with binding economic issues beyond  around the world and UN 192 members.

February 2nd 2012 CNN -Will Israel strike Iran in the spring? CNN's Barbara Starr discusses recent comments by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on the subject.

According to CNN news By Barbara Starr, dated February 2nd, 2012, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has come to the conclusion there is a growing likelihood Israel could attack Iran sometime this spring in an effort to destroy its suspected nuclear weapons program, according to a senior administration official.

The official declined to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the information.

Panetta's views were first reported by the Washington Post's David Ignatius, who wrote Panetta believes there is strong likelihood that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June - before Iran enters what Israelis described as a 'zone of immunity' to commence building a nuclear bomb.

Asked by reporters in Brussels, where Panetta is attending NATO meetings, the defense secretary refused to comment. But Panetta told reporters the U.S. has indicated our concerns to Israel, according to a transcript provided by the Defense Department.

But the official also noted that Israel goes through cycles of making aggressive statements about its intentions toward Iran in an effort to pressure the United States and the West to take more action.

Iran's supreme leader issued a blunt warning Friday that war would be detrimental to the United States - and that Iran is ready to help anyone who confronts cancerous Israel.

You see every now and then in this way they say that all options are on the table. That means even the option of war, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said during Friday prayers in Tehran. This is how they make these threats against us.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned Thursday that Iran may be close to the point which may render any physical strike as impractical, according to Reuters.

But just a few weeks ago, Barak suggested things were not as urgent, saying an Israeli decision on whether to strike Iran's nuclear program was very far off.

A confluence' of intelligence has led Panetta to this conclusion, the official told CNN, but declined to offer any specifics except noting that the United States conducts intelligence operations aimed at Israel as it does with many other allies.

The senior administration official also noted that there is a general understanding in the administration that Israel may have come to the firm conclusion Iran is developing a nuclear weapon. Just last week, the recently retired chief of Israeli military intelligence told CNN's David McKenzie that the Iranians have already decided that they want nuclear weapons, he said. But he added they haven't decided fully to go through with creating the weapons.

The official U.S. assessment is that Iran has not yet made that decision, the source said.

At a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Central Intelligence Agency Director David Petraeus, who said he has regular discussions with Israel's leadership and intelligence head, noted that Israel does see this possibility as an existential threat to their country, and I think that it is very important to keep that perspective in mind.

At the same hearing, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper noted the United States works closely with the Israelis and said the notion that Israel could strike is a very sensitive issue right now.

This is an area that we are very, very concerned about, Clapper said.

Panetta's press secretary, George Little, declined to comment on the report. Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently said it would be premature for the United States to consider striking Iran.

-------------------------------------------

Last month, January 8th, 2012,AP report shows that TEHRAN, Iran — Iran has begun uranium enrichment at a new underground site well protected from possible air strikes, a leading hard line newspaper reported Sunday in another show of defiance against Western pressure to rein in Tehran's nuclear program.

Even if Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has come to the conclusion there is possible Israel could attack Iran sometime this spring in an effort to destroy its suspected nuclear weapons program, according to a senior administration official, however, President Barack Obama does not think Israel has decided whether to attack Iran over its disputed nuclear program, a standoff that has the Middle East on edge.

Another newspaper quoted a senior commander of the powerful Revolutionary Guard force as saying Tehran's leadership has decided to order the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic oil route, if the country's petroleum exports are blocked. Revolutionary Guard ground forces also staged war games in eastern Iran in an apparent display of resolve against U.S. forces just over the border in Afghanistan.

The supreme authorities ... have insisted that if enemies block the export of our oil, we won't allow a drop of oil to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the strategy of the Islamic Republic in countering such threats, Revolutionary Guard deputy commander Ali Ashraf Nouri was quoted as saying by the Khorasan daily.

IAEA February 1st, report shows that Meetings between the IAEA and Iran were held in Tehran from 29 to 31 January 2012, aimed at resolving all outstanding substantive issues. Another meeting will take place in Teheran from 21 to 22 February 2012. The IAEA explained its concerns and identified its priorities, which focus on the clarification of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme. The IAEA also discussed with Iran the topics and initial steps to be taken, as well as associated modalities.

The Agency is committed to intensifying dialogue. It remains essential to make progress on substantive issues, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said.

Meanwhile fear of Uranium exposure,there are on going Cancer Crisis: IAEA On 2 February 2011, the IAEA commemorated World Cancer Day with a special event held at its headquarters in Vienna, statement shows that A shortage of around 5 000 radiotherapy machines in low- and middle income countries means that hundreds of thousands of patients are denied diagnosis and treatment that could save their lives, the IAEA Director General pointed out.

PACT, as well as various other departments at the IAEA, have been working hard to try to make radiotherapy services available in all countries, he said. For nearly a decade, PACT has pursued partnerships to help low- and middle income countries mobilize resources for cancer prevention and to provide equitable access to all cancer services for their population.

The Department of Technical Cooperation provides financial and technical assistance to Members States all around the world. Utilizing its expertise, the IAEA Division of Human Health provides vital resources to health professionals in fields such as radiotherapy and nuclear medicine.

The Agency is supporting over 130 projects in cancer diagnosis, management and treatment. Oncology and radiotherapy centres are being established in countries such as Afghanistan, Eritrea and Mozambique, while national capacity in radiotherapy is being strengthened in - for example - Albania and Kenya, Director General Amano said.

Not only the cancer issues but, also environmental issue is another big concern, climate changes and eco environmental to keep, preventing is radiation exposure which is a big challenge with all of these connection. There are some countries have copied and making dangerous nuclear weapons since WW II 1939 to 1945 also Japan was bombed, protecting the peace of the world is very important also making eco environment which UN, IAEA, including U.S is continue to pursuing all of these serious issues.......

Keeping safety, security environment is matter which should be in proper manner when the place is opening other than the originator. The originator should
train and show the regulations although it may be involved classified security issues for the company.

Iran raises tension testing long-range missiles:

An Iranian missile under construction, caught up in a mysterious blast in November, had a range of 6,000 miles, a senior Israeli official said Thursday in a speech outside Tel Aviv.

As of 2009, Iran has an active interest in developing, acquiring, and deploying a broad range of ballistic missiles, as well as developing a space launch capability. In mid-July 2008, Iran launched a number of ballistic missiles during military exercises, reportedly including the medium-range Shahab-3. Iran announced other missile and space launch tests in August and November 2008. In February 2009, Iran announced it launched a satellite into orbit and “officially achieved a presence in space.

Exposure to uranium can result in both chemical and radiological toxicity. The following table shows the body system affected by uranium toxicity.

The main chemical effect associated with exposure to uranium and its compounds is kidney toxicity. This toxicity can be caused by contaminate drinking water, which, over time, can harm health and breathing air containing uranium dusts or by eating substances containing uranium, which then enters the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the uranium compounds are filtered by the kidneys, where they can cause damage to the kidney cells. Very high uranium intakes (ranging from about 50 to 150 mg depending on the individual) can cause acute kidney failure and death. At lower intake levels (around 25 to 40 mg), damage can be detected by the presence of protein and dead cells in the urine, but there are no other symptoms. Also, at lower intake levels, the kidney repairs itself over a period of several weeks after the uranium exposure has stopped.

Since 1980 the B.C. Medical Association has published a slightly higher risk estimate and has condemned the radon standard for homes as tantamount to allowing an industrially induced epidemic of cancer. A 1982 report published by the Atomic Energy Control Board concurs, estimating a 40 percent increase in lung cancer among those living in homes contaminated to the acceptable radon level. The most serious health hazard associated with uranium mining is lung cancer due to inhaling uranium decay products; radium-226.

Preventing the cancer spreading causes and preventing the spread of weapons technology so called Nuclear Dilemma is very important to carry the mission which that: On the one hand to develop and facilitate the application of those promising beneficial applications of nuclear technology, and, on the other, to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons — that is, to manage the nuclear dilemma like UN, IAEA, U.S.A and the world is strongly urging......

Iran ready to send enriched uranium abroad
World News: CNN: Washington(Nov 27, 2009): U.S. officials talk tough on Iran sanctions
We cannot afford to forget. That beginning, of course, took place in Japan in August 1945, when the destructive horror of nuclear weapons was so vividly, and tragically, demonstrated. It is important to prevent the disaster maybe happend when it's reproducing enriched uranium abroad nomatter what any circumstances. IAEA 35 board members continue to working together to prevent human life and safty as a global world peace.
Hiroshima Atom Bomb Impact

According to the Khaleej Times, Reuters, dated February 3rd, 2010: 9: 07 AM, Iran is ready to send enriched uranium abroad. See below for more detail:

TEHRAN - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday Iran was ready to send its enriched uranium abroad in exchange for nuclear fuel under a plan the West hopes will stop the material being used for atomic bombs.

The U.N. nuclear agency has brokered a proposed deal under which Iran, which denies seeking nuclear weapons, would send its low enriched uranium abroad in exchange for more highly enriched fuel to produce medical isotopes.

We have no problem sending our enriched uranium abroad, Ahmadinejad told state television. We say: we will give you our 3.5 percent enriched uranium and will get the fuel. It may take 4 to 5 months until we get the fuel,he said.

If we send our enriched uranium abroad and then they do not give us the 20 percent enriched fuel for our reactor, we are capable of producing it inside Iran, he added.

President Ahmadinejad's comments came after Iran and the U.N. nuclear watchdog said last week a deal on uranium enrichment was still possible, even though Western diplomats had said Tehran had effectively turned down the proposal.

Under the proposed deal Tehran would transfer 70 percent of its low-enriched uranium (LEU) abroad for conversion into special fuel rods to keep the nuclear medicine reactor running.

The president spoke about nuclear plans on the same day Iran said it would soon hang nine more rioters over unrest that erupted after a disputed presidential vote in June last year. Opposition protesters said the poll was rigged.

Nine others will be hanged soon. The nine, and the two who were hanged on Thursday, were surely arrested in the recent riots and had links to anti-revolutionary groups, said senior judiciary official Ebrahim Raisi, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

The two men hanged last week were among 11 people sentenced to death on charges including waging war against God.

The June election gave Ahmadinejad a second term, but sparked the worst internal crisis in the Islamic Republic's history. The government denied any fraud in the voting.

Opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi, a former prime minister, said the repression showed the 1979 Islamic revolution that overthrew the U.S.-backed Shah had not achieved its goals.

Filling the prisons and brutally killing protesters show that the root of ... dictatorship remain from the monarchist era, he said on his Kalemeh website.

New sanctions?

In the United States, Vice President Joe Biden said Iran's leaders were sowing the seeds of their own destruction through their harsh crackdown on anti-government unrest.

The people of Iran are thinking about, the very people marching, they're thinking about regime change, Biden told MSNBC when asked whether it was time for regime change in Iran since President Barack Obama's effort to engage the Islamic republic had failed to make progress.

Signalling Washington was sticking to its dual track of diplomacy and sanctions, Biden insisted: It's time (for the United States) to reach out, demonstrate that we're not the problem, the hand that gets rejected, and be able to have the whole world stay with us ... against the Iranian government.

Ahmadinejad also said three U.S. citizens detained in Iran and charged with spying may be swapped with jailed Iranians in the United States.

We do not like to have any person in jail. Some discussions are going on to swap the three with jailed Iranians in America, Ahmadinejad told state television. He did not clarify whether the discussions were held with U.S. officials.

The three were detained after they strayed into Iran from northern Iraq at the end of July, further complicating relations between Tehran and Washington that were already deadlocked over Iran's nuclear programme.

Iran has said that the three Americans would be put on trial, without giving a date.

The plan for Iran's low-enriched uranium aims to reduce Iran's reserves below the quantity needed for the fissile core of a nuclear weapon, if the material were refined to a high degree of purity.

Western powers accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons ability under cover of a civilian enrichment programme that Tehran says will fuel a future network of nuclear power plants so it can export more of its abundant oil and gas. Iran denies this.

The United States and major European allies are pursuing broader U.N. sanctions against the Islamic Republic over its disputed nuclear activity.

The United States, Britain, Germany and France have called for a fourth round of U.N. measures against Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment activities as demanded by five Security Council resolutions.

the Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement and Relevant Provisions of Security Council Resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and 1835 (2008) in the Islamic Republic of Iran; and
a Request by the Russian Federation Regarding its Initiative to Establish a Reserve of Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) for the Supply of LEU to the IAEA for its Member States.

The Khaleej Times, Reuters, dated February 3rd, 2010: 9: 07 AM reported that Iran is ready to send enriched uranium abroad althought the Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Yukiya Amano said in 2009 he had not seen any evidence in IAEA official documents that Iran was seeking the ability to develop nuclear weapons, while a 2009 U.S. congressional research paper says U.S. intelligence believes Iran ended nuclear weapon design and weaponization work in 2003. Also, the IAEA reported that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons, or even weapons-grade uranium. On March 6, 2006, the IAEA Secretariat reported that the Agency has not seen indications of diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices ... however, after three years of intensive verification, there remain uncertainties with regard to both the scope and the nature of Iran's nuclear programme report shows that U.S. intelligence believes Iranian intentions are unknown to the U.S., but asserts that if Iran pursues a nuclear weapon it “is unlikely to achieve this capability before 2013” and recognizes the possibility that this capability may not be attained until after 2015.

Over 100,000 Iranian troops and civilians were victims to chemical weapons during the 1980s Iran–Iraq War. On ideological grounds, a public and religious decree against the development, production, stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons has been issued by the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic.

Iran says its uranium enrichment program is exclusively for peaceful purposes and has enriched uranium to less than 5 percent, consistent with fuel for a nuclear power plant and significantly below the purity of WEU (around 90%) typically used in a weapons program.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an autonomous body, established by the United Nations, that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to inhibit its use for military purposes.

Report shows that in the early 1990s, in the immediate aftermath of the first Gulf War, a secret Iraqi programme to produce nuclear weapons was uncovered. This led to the first occasion on which the Agency’s 35 Member Board of Governors — its key policy-making body — concluded that an NPT State had blatantly violated its safeguards obligations.

IAEA verification activities are necessary in order to keep the human life safe and global safty including routine on-theground inspections — to safeguard against any misuse of those nuclear facilities or material for weapons purposes.

See the 35 Countries Board Members for 2009-2010.

Board Officers: The Chair of the Board of Governors for 2009-2010 is the Ambassador and Resident Representative of Malaysia, Mr. M. H. Arshad. . He succeeds the Ambassador and Resident Representative of Algeria, Mrs. Taous Feroukhi.
The Ambassadors and Resident Representatives of Romania and Germany were also elected as Vice-Chairmen. They are Mr. Cornel Feruta, Governor for Romania, and Mr. Rudiger Ludeking, Governor for Germany.

Request by the Russian Federation regarding its Initiative to Establish a Reserve of Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) for the Supply of LEU to the IAEA for its Member States Resolution adopted by the Board of Governors on 27 November 2009

The IAEA Board of Governors, the 35-member policymaking body, also authorized the public distribution of the resolutions on Iran and the low enriched uranium reserve, as well as the Director General´s report on the implementation of safeguards in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Board of Governors will next meet on 1 March 2010.

We cannot afford to forget. That beginning, of course, took place in Japan in August 1945, when the destructive horror of nuclear weapons was so vividly, and tragically, demonstrated. It is important to prevent the disaster maybe happend when it's reproducing enriched uranium abroad nomatter what any circumstances. IAEA 35 board members continue to working together to prevent human life and safty as a global world peace.

Working together with the Iran
The Agency is continues
requesting what it's needed from Iran

Brussels, Belgium (CNN) -- Representatives of six world powers and the European Union met in Brussels on Friday to discuss Iran's apparent rejection of a key part of a nuclear deal.

A statement will be issued soon, according to the office of Javier Solana, the EU's foreign policy chief.

The United States, Russia, China, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, along with the EU, are trying to map a way forward on Tehran's controversial nuclear program. They seek to reduce international fears that Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons.

On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran refused a request that his country send its partially enriched uranium abroad to be turned into material for medical research.

However, he said Tehran might allow the nuclear material to be reprocessed inside Iran, the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported.

The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog -- the International Atomic Energy Agency -- said Wednesday it could not confirm or deny that Iran had rejected any part of the proposal.

The deal hammered out last month with the help of the IAEA aimed to reduce the amount of raw material Iran has to build a nuclear bomb.

Agency Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei denied Friday during a news conference in Berlin that nuclear negotiations with Iran have fallen through, an agency spokesman told CNN.

The spokesman said ElBaradei considers the language from Mottaki ambiguous, and the media should not consider the foreign minister's response as the end of the deal.

We have not received any written response from Iran, the spokesman said. He said ElBaradei hopes to see progress even though the process has taken awhile.

He is not ready to say it's over, the spokesman said.

U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday warned Iran there would be consequences if it did not accept the plan.

Iran insists it intends to produce nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes, including civilian electricity and medical research.

IAEA inspectors first visited the newly revealed Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant last month, according to an agency report published Monday.

During a meeting in Tehran, Iranian officials told the inspectors that construction of the site had begun during late 2007, the report said, and it would not be operational until 2011.

However, the agency's inspectors told Iran it had acquired commercially available satellite imagery of the site indicating that there had been construction at the site between 2002 and 2004, and that construction activities were resumed in 2006 and had continued to date, the report said.

IAEA member states also allege that design work on the Fordow facility began in 2006, the report said.

Iranian officials told inspectors the nation has no other undisclosed nuclear facilities either under construction or in operation, the report said, and promised that any future facilities would be disclosed.

Iran remains bound by the terms of a 2003 agreement under which it must provide information to the IAEA regarding nuclear facilities as soon as the decision to build is made or construction is authorized.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the IAEA latest information,

IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei has circulated his latest reports on nuclear safeguards in Iran and Syria to the Agency´s Board of Governors, the 35-member policymaking body, in advance of their meeting next week.

The IAEA Board of Governors will discuss the reports when it next convenes in Vienna on 26 November which outlined since the Director General´s reports of 28 August 2009. The reports are entitled Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement and relevant provisions of Security Council resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and 1835 (2008) in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement in the Syrian Arab Republic. IAEA Board of Governors distributed the updated report accordingly.

The Board of Governors report shows that As of 7 November 2008, the total amount of UF6 fed into the cascades since the beginning of operations in February 2007 was 9750 kg, and based on the operator’s daily accounting records, Iran had produced approximately 630 kg of low enriched UF6. All nuclear material at FEP, as well as all installed cascades, remain under Agency containment and surveillance.

The June 2009 reports shows that the Board of Governors report shows that there are Possible Military Dimensions which indicated that the Agency to be able to address these concerns and make progress in its efforts to provide assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, it is essential that Iran, inter alia, provide the information and access necessary to: resolve questions related to the alleged studies; provide more information on the circumstances of the acquisition of the uranium metal document.

The Agency believes that Iran could, as a matter of transparency, assist the Agency in its assessment of these issues by providing it with access to documents, information and personnel to demonstrate, as Iran asserts, that these activities were not nuclear related. The Board of Governance expect that the Iran to provide the report to the Agency. Since the Director General’s last report, the Agency has continued to assess the information previously provided to it, both by Iran (including INFCIRCs/737 and 739) and by Member States, in respect of these issues. The Agency believes that Iran could, as a matter of transparency, assist the Agency in its assessment of these issues by providing it with access to documents, information and personnel to demonstrate, as Iran asserts, that these activities were not nuclear related.

The report clearly was showing that The Agency is requesting to Iran to cooperation with the Agency since that report and has not yet provided the requested information, or access to the requested documentation, locations or individuals.
Iran is working together and cooperating with the IAES now and hopeing to see the Iran continues to cooperate and working together.

The Agency is to keep the peace and to support the green environment: It is recommended that mitigation to reduce further emissions; adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming; and, more speculatively, geoengineering to reverse global warming. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The United Nations, Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon's Climate Change Conference which will take place at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark, between December 7 and December 18, 2009. Many regions and nations including the U.S. President Obama is working togehter to make the green environment to support the climate changes. The UN members are 179 nations. Many are believes that the U.S has the key roles to proving the humanitarian services, waste management, and resources availabe for tools to preventing and protecting environment also support the climate changes to happen including other nations which ties to the IAEA Board of Governors report and shows that it is urgency that the IRAN to provide the information to the agency as soon as possible .

All Angles: Iranian Election 2009

Source: Yahoo.com
CNN
YOUTUBE: CNN


TEHRAN, Iran - Thousands of Iranians swarmed the streets of Tehran on Tuesday in rival demonstrations over the country's disputed presidential election, pushing a deep crisis into its fourth day despite a government attempt to placate the opposition by recounting a limited number of ballots.

Iran's supreme ruler drew a firm line against any threats to the regime, warning Iranians to unite behind the country's Islamic system as authorities imposed severe restrictions on independent media.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made an extraordinary appeal in response to tensions over the disputed election, which has presented one of the gravest threats to Iran's complex blend of democracy and religious authority since the system emerged from the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

In the elections, voters had different tendencies, but they equally believe in the ruling system and support the Islamic Republic, Khamenei said at a meeting with representatives of the four presidential candidates. Nobody should take any action that would create tension, and all have to explicitly say they are against tension and riots.

A day after a massive opposition rally that ended in deadly clashes with pro-government militiamen, Iran's main electoral authority said it was prepared to conduct a limited recount of ballots at sites where candidates claim irregularities took place.

Reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi has called the election an astonishing charade, demanding it be canceled and held again.

His representative, reformist cleric Ali Akbar Mohtashamipour, reiterated that demand Tuesday after a meeting of the Guardian Council, calling along with representatives of two other candidates for an independent investigation of voting irregularities. The Guardian Council is an unelected body of 12 clerics and Islamic law experts close to the supreme leader and seen as supportive of Ahmadinejad.

Mousavi said Monday he believes the council is not neutral and has already indicated support for Ahmadinejad.

If the whole people become aware, avoid violent measures and continue their civil confrontation with that, they will win. No power can stand up to people's will, Mohtashamipour said. I do not think that the Guardian Council will have the courage to stand against people.

A spokesman for the Guardian Council, Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, did not rule out the possibility of canceling the results, saying that is within the council's powers, although nullifying an election would be an unprecedented step.

In the afternoon, the government organized a large rally in Tehran, as if to demonstrate it also can bring people into the streets. Thousands waved Iranian flags and pictures of the supreme leader, thrusting their fists into the air and cheering as speakers denounced rioters and urged Iranians to accept the results showing Ahmadinejad was re-elected in a landslide Friday.

This nation will protect and defend its revolution in any way, Gholam Ali Haddad Adel, a prominent lawmaker and Ahmadinejad supporter, told the pro-government crowd in Vali Asr Square.

He called on Mousavi's supporters to accept the results and press their complaints through legal means.

After all, in all elections there will be losers and winners, naturally, he said. This should not cause a rift between the people.

The appeal for unity failed to calm passions, and a large column of Mousavi supporters - some of them with green headbands and their faces masked against tear gas or to hide their identities - marched peacefully along a central avenue in north Tehran, according to amateur video.

A witness told The Associated Press that the pro-Mousavi rally stretched more than a mile (1.5 kilometers) along Vali Asr avenue, from Vanak Square to the headquarters of Iranian state television.

Security forces did not interfere, the witness said, and the protest lasted from about 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Other witnesses told the AP that about 100 people continued the protest in front of state TV past 9:45 p.m. The witness spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of government reprisal.

Mousavi appeared to be trying to harness the days of street rage into a more carefully directed campaign of civil disobedience. In a message on his Web site, he said he would not attend Tuesday's demonstration and urged his supporters not to resort to violence.

The Web site said Mousavi and his supporters planned another large demonstration along the path of Monday's massive protest, for Wednesday afternoon. It said they have asked the Interior Ministry for permission but didn't say whether they got a response or if they would go ahead if rejected.

Ahmadinejad, who has dismissed the unrest as little more than passions after a soccer match, attended a summit meeting in Russia that was delayed a day by the unrest in Tehran. That allowed him to project an image as Iran's rightful president, welcomed by other world leaders.

In Washington, President Barack Obama expressed deep concerns about the legitimacy of the election and post-voting crackdowns but declined to term Ahmadinejad's re-election a fraud.

I do believe that something has happened in Iran, with Iranians more willing to question the government's antagonistic postures toward the world, Obama said. There are people who want to see greater openness, greater debate, greater democracy.

After images were shown around the world of Monday's mass protests and violence, authorities said foreign media, including Iranian employees, could only work from their offices, conduct telephone interviews and monitor official sources such as state television.

The rules prevent media outlets, including The Associated Press, from sending independent photos or video of street protests or rallies.

Also Tuesday, foreign reporters in Iran to cover last week's elections began leaving the country. Iranian officials said they will not extend their visas.

At least 10 Iranian journalists have been arrested since the election, and we are very worried about them, we don't know where they have been detained, Jean-Francois Julliard, secretary general of Reporters Without Borders told AP Television News in Paris. He added that some people who took pictures with cell phones also were arrested.

A Web site run by former Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi said the reformist had been arrested.

Saeed Hajjarian, a prominent reformer, also has been detained, Hajjarian's wife, Vajiheh Masousi, told the AP. Hajjarian is a close aide of former President Mohammad Khatami.

Iranian state radio said seven people were killed in Monday's protests - the first confirmation of deaths from the demonstrations that started Saturday after the election results were announced. It said people were killed during an unauthorized gathering at a mass rally after protesters tried to attack a military location.

--------------------------------------------

According to the TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) Iran's government had criticized some of the media coverage and images, describing them as biased.

International news outlets, including CNN, can talk about rallies in their live reports, but they are not allowed to leave their hotel rooms and offices.

Iranian government-run television, which was not affected by the restrictions, aired live coverage of Tuesday's rally in support of Ahmadinejad, whose supporters crowded the streets of central Tehran.

Moussavi asked his backers to forego a planned rally Tuesday in the same area as the pro-Ahmadinejad gathering at Vali Asr Square in Tehran.

Instead, his supporters gathered at a different location in the capital, according to video footage of the rally.

Seven people were killed Monday night in Tehran, government-funded Press TV said.

Iran's election authority has agreed to recount some votes in the disputed election, but Moussavi has rejected the idea, asking instead for fresh elections.



Meanwhile, Iran's nuclear programme was in the spotlight of a meeting of the UN atomic watchdog here Monday, June 15, 2009, following the country's disputed presidential election. Wikipedia shows that the Iran's first nuclear power plant, Bushehr I, is expected to be operational in 2009. There are no current plans to complete the Bushehr II reactor, although the construction of 19 nuclear power plants is envisaged.

Source: yahoo.com

Iran has announced that it is working on a new 360 MWe nuclear power plant to be located in Darkhoyen. Iran has also indicated it that it will seek more medium-sized nuclear power plants and uranium mines for the future.

Resently, President Obama declaring North Korea a grave threat to the world, on Tuesday pledged the U.S. and its allies will aggressively enforce fresh international penalties against the nuclear-armed nation.

South Korea's leader and President Obama said the world must break a pattern in which North Korea puts the globe on edge, only to put itself in line for concessions if it holds out long enough.

We are more than willing to engage in negotiations to get North Korea on a path of peaceful coexistence with its neighbors, and we want to encourage their prosperity, Obama said in the Rose Garden alongside South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. But belligerent, provocative behavior that threatens neighbors will be met with significant and serious enforcement of sanctions that are in place.


Recent IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) Press Release shows that International Nuclear Safety Experts Conclude IAEA Peer Review of Canada´s Regulatory System. An international team of nuclear safety experts completed a two-week IAEA review of the regulatory framework and effectiveness of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). The team identified good practices within the system and gave advice on some areas for improvement. The IAEA has conveyed initial findings to Canadian authorities; the final report will be submitted by autumn.

The IAEA is the world´s center of cooperation in the nuclear field. It was set up as the world´s Atoms for Peace organization in 1957 within the United Nations family. The Agency works with its Member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies.

The IAEA's programmes encourage the development of the peaceful applications of nuclear technology, provide international safeguards against its misuse, and facilitate the application of safety measures in its use. The organization and its Director General, Mohamed ElBaradei, were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize announced on 7 October 2005.

Although IAEA represents the International, it is our responsible to take care the nature resources and healthy environment, secure, clean energy economic development and make the green world. Here is a great example from King County , Washington for environmental support in order to preparing for climate change impacts.
