Stephen thinks that Iran is conducting "uranium enrichement beyond what is required to fire up a reactor"

But nothing could be further from the truth. The "experts" are still saying that it will be at least a year before Iran enriches the 550 kilos of 3.5% enriched uranium that is needed in order to enrich down to 26 kilos of 90% enriched uranium needed to build a single bomb.

So Iran is nowhere near the 82 TONS of fuel that Russia just sent to Iran, since they haven`t even reached 550 kilos of 3.5% enriched uranium.

Russia delivered 82 TONS of fuel just for the primary stage of commissioning the Iranian Bushehr reactor. Stephen`s claim that somehow Iran`s current production of much less than 500 kilos being more than enough to run their power plant is a complete joke.

Again, at least we know exactly how clueless the people calling for war on Iran know about the underlying issues. Thanks, Stephen.
