    USA has no right to attack Iran in the futur( we all know the USA is going to attack it). Rather than telling Iran what to do, the US should help Iran to build a nuclear plant in a safe way. So like that, we wont have a new "Tchernobyl"(sp?).

    Edit:

    Iran has joined 'club of nuclear countries': Ahmadinejad

    Iran has enriched uranium for the first time, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday about the critical step in developing a nuclear program.

    But Ahmadinejad insisted that his country does not aim to develop atomic weapons.

    "I formally declare that Iran has joined the club of nuclear countries," he said in a nationally televised speech.

    Ahmadinejad said the "laboratory-scale nuclear fuel cycle has been completed and young scientists produced enriched uranium needed to the degree for nuclear power plants."

    The United States and some European countries have accused Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons. But Tehran has said its nuclear program is only to generate electricity.

    Ahmadinejad said Tuesday Iran "relies on the sublime beliefs that lie within the Iranian and Islamic culture. Our nation does not get its strength from nuclear arsenals."

    Vice-President Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the nuclear chief, said Iran has produced 110 tons of uranium gas. That gas is pumped into centrifuges for enrichment.

    Despite the important step, Iran's announcement does not mean it is immediately capable of running a reactor or developing a nuclear weapon.

    Iran has so far succeeded only in enriching uranium to a level needed for fuel on a research scale.

    The enrichment process can take years to produce a gas rich enough in uranium-235 that it can be used to power a nuclear reactor or produce a bomb.
