TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday Iran had met a planned target of installing and running 3,000 atomic centrifuges used in enriching uranium, Iranian news agencies reported.
Iran had said it aimed to have that many centrifuges, which are set up in interlinked networks or "cascades" of 164 machines each, by the end of July. Diplomats in Vienna have said Iran appeared to have fewer than the target of 3,000 operating.
The diplomats have also said Iran's nuclear work appeared to have slowed down during the summer, possibly due to technical glitches or for fear of spurring world powers to pass a third U.N. sanctions resolution. Iran has denied any slowdown.
"We have more than 3,000 centrifuges working and every week a new set is installed," the president was quoted as saying.

The middle east is more of a mess today than it was 10 years ago -
The US invaded Iraq based on a lie Now Iran has been given a position it would never have acheived in world politics - and is going to make nuclear matieral no matter what
A nuclear bomb is only a few steps away now -
The abduction of British soldiers - Where Iran commits a criminal act and then blames the UK for the crimes of Iran is likely going to repeat itself - only on a bigger scale - Will they bomb someone and then ask that nation for an apology ?
What at this stage can be done to stop them from becomeing a threat to the globe ?

Most educated sources I have read, put them just a few years away from the bomb. My oppinion is that we are waiting for photographic evidence of bomb making before taking action. The Iraq fiasco has lead to a good deal more goverment caution in claiming WMD's.

Ifmit is solely used for power then let them but have the regulatory commision monitor them. but when it becomes weapon grade aterial then step in and force them to distroy it or suffer sanctions and possible WORLD wide action.
