I Can Only Laugh
Iran threatens to accelerate their nuclear enrichment program if they are referred to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions. (AP) Here is a government that is caught lying and cheating about their nuclear program. When confronted they essentially say, "Fuck You". Turn us in to the cops and were going to really screw you. Can the rest of the world make them stop? Will they? How?
Soltaniyeh, in comments to The Associated Press, warned against referral, suggesting such a "hasty decision" would backfire.
Whether Iran's suspension of its full-scale enrichment program remains in effect "depends on the decision of Feb. 2," he said. If the board votes for referral, he said, Iran would resume efforts to fully develop its nascent enrichment activities.
Iran insists its nuclear ambitions do not go beyond wanting to generate fuel, but concerns are growing that its focus is on making nuclear weapons.
These guys are playing a tough game. They are very good. If we were playing poker I would say they are calling our bluff. How do you want to play it?
