Iran trumpets nuclear ability at second location
CAIRO — Iran’s top nuclear official announced this weekend that the country was on the verge of starting production at its second major uranium enrichment site, in a defiant declaration that its nuclear program would continue despite new international sanctions restricting its oil revenue.
The announcement, made through official news media reports, came after a week of escalating confrontations between Washington and Tehran, including a threat that Iran would respond with military force if the United States tried to send an aircraft carrier strike group back into the Strait of Hormuz.
The imminent opening of the enrichment site — the Fordo plant, near the city of Qum — confronts the United States and its allies with difficult choices about how far to go to limit Iran’s nuclear abilities. The new facility is buried deep underground on a well-defended military site and is considered far more resistant to airstrikes than the existing enrichment site at Natanz, limiting what Israeli officials, in particular, consider an important deterrent to Iran’s nuclear aims.

Well since we're on the subject of enriched Uranium, what about the several tons of enriched uranium that Canada sent down to their American friends. That troubles me much more than Iran doing something everybody else who sucks up to the West are allowed to do.
We also are all well aware of the fact that Israel is the ONLY MiddleEast Entity that owns a few hundred nuclear weapons, not to mention all of the chemical and biological weapons they possess and use regularly in their terror attacks on the Palestinians.
Viva Palestine, and Iran Is NOT the Problem.

Pakistan also has nukes. But you're right. How quickly we forget that the U.S is the ONLY country in history that has actually used them! And to think the world is worried about Iran! "Duh", comes to mind...
