Iran hits 20% uranium enrichment treshold

Iranian news agency report today
Fars News Agency :: Iran Produces N. Fuel Needed for Tehran Research Reactor

"Iranian experts managed to produce fuel supplies for the Tehran research reactor after enriching uranium to the purity level of 20%, sources announced on Sunday, adding that the home-produced fuel plates will soon be loaded into the reactor which is used for producing radioisotopes for medical use."


20% is good enough to make a low grade bomb
The report indicates that they must have made at least 120kg

don't think a tinfoil hat is going to work there...,


anyway real paranoids have evolved beyond tinfoil - they use software protection like Mindguard - see MindGuard Home Page

Me? All I'd want would be a tin-foil jockstrap

but if you really want to make your own hat, start here Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie

It adds up to a dictatorial country controlled by two competing groups of irrationals striving to compete for a piece of international domination - with a mindset that doesn't give a toss about the consequences of their actions

The scariest scenario for the US and Israel is that Iran does get a nuke and then does nothing with it.....

Pakistan which is more unstable than Iran with a history of supporting Taleban and others has a nuke and it has done zilch with it,

You're describing the two party "democracy" of America?

If you can find a copy of yesterday's Sunday Times magazine, there's a fascinating article about the Stuxnet virus. Well worth the read, even if you don't really understand computers.

Well good for them, they have now entered the nuclear club.

The old adage now comes to mind.
