I have no problem with this news ASSUMING it really is for peaceful nuclear technology.

“We have started to enrich uranium domestically based on our need to provide fuel for the Tehran research reactor and this process will continue until our needs are met.”

My only issue with this is it is yet another defiant act to an already touchy subject for most western nations, and will very like be seen as a provocation by those countries.
