Iran's Nuclear Energy Progress Sparks New Threats of Aggression

By Robert Johnson

In recent months Iran has made large strides toward mastering nuclear
technology. Alarmed by these advances, the Bush administration and its
European allies have stepped up their hostile actions and threats,
specifically:

*       Attempting to prevent the entry into service of Iran's first nuclear
power plant at Bushehr. The Bushehr reactor will use nuclear fuel imported
from Russia.
  
*       Attempting to prevent Iran from developing the capacity to produce
its own nuclear fuel.
  
*       Preparing to impose harsh new economic sanctions on the country.
  
*       Threatening to attack Iran militarily if other means fail to achieve
their aims. 

The imperialist powers are particularly incensed by their failure to halt
Iran's steady progress in learning how to enrich uranium, the key challenge
in manufacturing fuel for a nuclear reactor.
