UN nuclear watchdog holds lectures in the Iran

UN nuclear watchdog was officials in Tehran on Monday for discreet talks about suspicious nuclear activities of Iran, in the midst of a worsening international showdown, the tensions and rising oil prices has sent.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) hoping for "concrete results" from the two days of talks focused himself on "the military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme," the delegation leader, Chief UN nuclear inspector Herman Nackaerts, said late Sunday from Vienna departing.

But he shows booked progress "can take a while."

Iran has taken an increasingly defiant stance against Western sanctions and Israeli threats of military action against it.

On Sunday its oil Ministry announced crude oil exports to France and the United Kingdom had stopped was, apparently in retaliation for an EU ban on Iranian oil, which will be introduced in the next five months.

Although Iran offers less than three percent of the oil imports of France and almost none of Britain's, oil traders took fright at the prospect of Iran extended the 20 percent of its crude oil buys his action with the rest of Europe of.

Brent North Sea crude oil for delivery April rose to an eight-month high, up $1.52 to $121.10 in Asian trade. New York's main contract, West Texas intermediate light sweet crude for delivery March, jumped $1.72 $104.96 per barrel.

The Islamic Republic has also summoned in recent days what it was called "great" nuclear progress, it was more centrifuges, thousands add to its uranium enrichment activities, and produce, what he said was 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel declare.

The IAEA issued in November a report express strong suspicion that examined Iran, a nuclear weapon and missile warheads, confirmed last month that a new, fortified uranium enrichment plant outside Iran's Holy City of Qom had enabled.

The West has to stop its uranium enrichment Iran sanctions ratcheted force tried, but without success so far.

Israel, who believes that his existence through a nuclear Iran is threatened, has stepped up his warnings, that it could launch air strikes, calls for the United States and Britain to urge restraint.

Recent attacks by three Iranian nuclear scientists and attempted bomb arch enemies stressed a possible covert war between the two Middle East plots against Israeli diplomats in several countries.

But Iran has also agreed to revive an EU Overture for talks with the world powers, which reduced a year ago.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, Fereydoon Abbasi Davani, said Al-Alam television, with the pressure from the Mächte--the so-called P5 + 1 group consisting of five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany-should subside.

He said "they better would do, to change its method because what they have used in the past with success does not meet yet".

"We will continue our (nuclear) path," this is purely for peaceful purposes, he said.

Added Abbasi Davani, that previous talks on it, the Iran with nuclear fuel now invalid "because we hindering our own fuel - now if we sit at the table, it will ask us, (P5 + 1) If you want fuel."

He mocked also Israel, what he said was "Afraid of the progress we have made in the nuclear field."

The official of an assassin fled bomb in 2010, said: "they have done everything they can to kill our nuclear scientists." "If it is not of Iran is now attacked because they are not in a position to do so."

But an attack should occur, he, Iranian military warned "Is an appropriate response."

The head of the Iranian elite revolutionary guards, General Mohammad Ali Jafari, told state television that the West for the nervousness was responsible, higher oil prices have sent.

"The crisis, have caused them in the region led to a rise in oil prices, and they feel the effect," he said.

"By providing their armed forces to the Persian Gulf and the sea of Oman, they will try to control the crisis." "But the view more of them and their forces, the worse will be the impact."

Ali Jafari said to show current military exercises in the South of Iran, the Islamic Republic to respond ability to any threat. And he hinted that Iran could close the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Gulf if necessary.

"We borders, and also of those brother see us Muslim countries as responsible for the protection of Iran, especially when it comes to security in the Strait of Hormuz," he said.

Nuclear claims - sources support IAEA Iran

Vienna, Nov 6 Reuters - A report of the United Nations nuclear watchdog next week support claims, the Iran built a large steel container could be used to perform tests with explosives, nuclear weapons, sources that said about the document informing on Friday.

Satellite images of the container on Parchin, near the city of Tehran, was awarded the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other evidence that believe claims by Member of the IAEA has explained that explosives test installation for connection with nuclear material, the sources said.

The IAEA show performed also evidence the Iran, the computer modelling of a nuclear weapon, said a source.

Western diplomats say that the voltage expected report strengthens suspicions that Tehran seeks a capability to make nuclear bombs, but stop which explicitly say that it does this to develop.

It was unclear if the container has been created, or whether it was actually used for nuclear-related work.

Iranian officials were not immediately available for comment.

Suspected of nuclear weapons date work on the Parchin military complex Southeast of Tehran back at least until 2004 as a prominent nuclear expert said that satellite images showed that it can be a page for research, test, and production of nuclear weapons.

Iran, which says that its nuclear program is peaceful, has previously denied the accusations. In 2005, Iran allows UN nuclear inspectors to visit Parchin.

The IAEA in the may listed seven areas to the military dimensions to the nuclear program of Iran, including explosives manufacture and testing and development, manufacture and testing of explosive components.

One of the main obstacles in a nuclear bomb designs a ring of conventional explosives used nuclear material in the warhead core, Kindle to compress a chain reaction. Experiments must be carried out, to the effects of explosions to test bomb components.

The IAEA report is expected to include other evidence to research and other activities, the little point if not relating to weapons, Western diplomats said to make.

Iran think Western powers secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons, but Tehran denies this, saying that it is enriching uranium for nuclear power plants to generate electricity.

Signs of nuclear weapons would activities calls for further sanctions against the Iran strengthen.
