Iran Rejects Threats and Resumes Nuclear Activities
The Tehran Times reported August 9, 2005 that, "Iran officially resumed nuclear activities at the Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility on Monday, [August 8, 2005]." Mohammad Saeedi , Iran's Atomic Energy Organization Deputy Director, made the announcement at the Isfahan plant shortly after activities commenced.
The Times also reported that, "On Monday, Iran also officially rejected the European Union nuclear proposals, calling them unacceptable, the Foreign Ministry announced."
The EU and the United States are trying to force Iran to abandon its nuclear activities under the threat of sanctions. No such pressure has been put on Israel, which reportedly has several nuclear weapons.
