“Weapons-Grade Uranium”

I’m surprised–check that, I’m not surprised–that this story isn’t getting more attention.

U.N. inspectors have found traces of highly enriched, weapons-grade uranium at an Iranian nuclear facility, a senior diplomat said Tuesday, citing a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The find heightened concerns that Tehran may be running a secret nuclear weapons program.

According to the story, the diplomat said this discovery “underlined the need for further inspections of the Natanz facility and Iran’s nuclear programs in general to abolish concerns about the nature of its activities.” Here’s hoping that’s just diplo-speak and “inspections of” really means “daisy cutters onto.”
