DUBAI (Reuters) - U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states are willing to set up a body to provide enriched uranium to Iran to defuse Tehran's stand-off with the West over its nuclear plan, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister told a magazine on Thursday.

This appears to be a valid attempt to thwart US aggression in the region with important support from Saudi Arabia. This proposal comes on the heels of Egypt's announcement to build nuclear facilities. Iran's response may reveal their true nuclear intentions.

Can the Whitehouse be up for this?

wasnt something like this tried about a year ago? i think i remember russia offering to provide the enriched uranium and iran refused saying they wanted to be energy independant.

interesting development, thanks for the link.

Good memory turbokid. A little over a year ago...and I guess the US was on-board with that proposal...at least publicly. After having received a degree of support from several Gulf states recently (Riyadh last year), it seems that a refusal to participate with a consortium of Gulf neighbors could have deeper ramifications. Isolation? I have the feeling that proliferation in the ME is simply a matter of time.

Thanks for your response.

Didn't the U.S. provide Iran w/ a reactor in the 70/80s during the Iraq/Iran conflict that killed millions? This all starts to seem staged. Probably another N Korea-like threat chip for the rest of Druggie Jr's term, move to the other currency in the OPEC scene, dollar is ruined as US becomes a 2nd world country, middle America is abandoned for cities and re-growth of environment -- for what, I don't know, ask the UN.

You can research some interesting details on US/Iranian nuclear cooperation on the NTI site anhinga. Collaboration began in 1957 under the Atoms for Peace program. Cooperation began to deteriorate in the late 70's when the US State Dept received intel that the Shah might be involved in covert nuclear weapons developement...and came to an abrupt halt when he was deposed in January of 79.

With respect to this latest proposal, no doubt, Iran will attempt to milk-it as they did with the Russian enrichment proposal...buying as much time as possible. I doubt that the big-hitter in the UN Security Council will buy the stall this time-round. Ultimately, if Iran is granted enough time to decide on this offer, and they refuse...that decision will most certainly be used to further legitimize an attack.

Thanks

It seem we have help create some of the world biggest problems in the last seventy years by "looking after our own interests" like backing some of the worst Dictators in history. this is no surprise to me. That a side I would like to talk with you about Master Behrens if you would please e-mail me at [email protected], I'm trying to chart the history in detail of Senso Aikijutsu and Torishimaru Aikijutsu being a student of Senso Ryu Aikijujutsu and also a Japanese Martial art freak I have been trying to get in touch with Behrens so please contact me at the above e-mail.
