Envoys Say Enriched Uranium Found in Iran

By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 18 minutes ago

U.N. inspectors have found traces of highly enriched uranium on equipment from an Iranian research center linked to the military, diplomats said Friday — a revelation likely to strengthen U.S. arguments that Tehran wants to develop nuclear arms.

The diplomats, who demanded anonymity in exchange for divulging the confidential information, cautioned that confirmation still had to come through other laboratory tests.

Initially, they said the density of enrichment appeared to be close to or above the level used to make nuclear warheads. But later a diplomat accredited to the International Atomic Energy Agency said it was below that, although higher than the low-enriched material used to generate power and heading toward weapons-grade level.

Still, they said, further analysis could show that the find matches others established to have come from abroad. The IAEA determined earlier traces of highly enriched uranium were imported on equipment from Pakistan that Iran bought on the black market during nearly two decades of clandestine activity.

Even then, nevertheless, the find would be significant.

2. did I also read that this uranium
was just scraps leftover on stuff they had imported from Russia?

(not sure how that actually happens, but sounds plausible)

Crapomedia is surely likely to try and scare us with it, though.

3. Thanks for that.
I have a feeling "uranium finds" reports are foregone conclusions for the war party. Any news about more aircraft carrier movements?
