Iran bars two UN nuclear inspectors over report

[The Dragon Master]

Iran has told the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) it will not allow two of its inspectors to enter the country, state media report.



The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, Ali Akbar Salehi, said they had prematurely published a report he described as untruthful.



Mr Salehi did not say which parts of the report he considered inaccurate.



The decision comes two weeks after the UN Security Council voted to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran.



US President Barack Obama said the punishment, for continuing to defy resolutions ordering it to suspend all enrichment of uranium, was an unmistakable message on stopping the spread of nuclear arms.



Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the sanctions should be thrown in the dustbin like a used handkerchief.



The US and its allies fear Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb, but Tehran insists its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes.

Funny how all the nuclear countries are against any other country getting nuclear capabilities.



The thing is, the technology can't be uninvented and so it is only natural that as time goes by more and more countries are going to get nuclear capabilities until one day some idiot launches a nuclear attack on someone.



So who the fuck does America and the rest of the nuclear nations think they are to tell the rest of the world who can and can't have nuclear weapons?
