Earlier today, an agreement was reached regarding Iran’s nuclear fuel. The agreement calls for the shipment of 2,640 pounds of Low Enriched Uranium(LEU) to Turkey. After one year of storage in Turkey, Iran will get 265 pounds of 20 percent enriched uranium. This uranium will be used in a reactor that creates isotopes used for treating cancer. This agreement is similar to the agreement made with the West last October. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the agreement is “to the benefit of all nations who want to live freely and independently.” Ramin Mehmanparast, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, said “This shows that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, but rather peaceful nuclear technology. Such interactions must replace a confrontational approach.” This agreement is a tremendous step forward; it proves Iran is not after nuclear weapons and that another round of sanctions on Iran would be pointless.
