VIENNA, Jan 31 (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog confirmed on Tuesday
that Iran had begun preparing for nuclear enrichment, which can make fuel
for bombs, and continued to hinder a probe of unanswered questions about
Iran’s atomic aims.

In a confidential report to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA)
board of governors, the agency said Iran had not yet begun enrichment itself
but had started renovation work at its Natanz enrichment site.

Iran also prevented U.N. inspectors from questioning a key scientist
linked to the procurement of equipment that could have been used to make
weapons and did not let the IAEA copy documents related to the production of
nuclear weapons, the report said.

What is disturbing about this is the fact that Iraq has taken such a toll on
our forces and is possibly leaving us in a weaken state should we have to go
into military action against Iran. This was one of the problems brought up when
the argument was taking place over going to war with Iraq.
