    AP Exclusive: Iran poised for big nuke expansion

    VIENNA (AP) — Diplomats say Iran is poised for a major expansion of its nuclear program at a cavernous underground site.

    They have told The Associated Press that Tehran has readied the site for the installation of thousands of new-generation centrifuges. These machines could greatly speed up production of material that can be turned into the core of nuclear warheads.

    The diplomats say that electrical circuitry, piping and supporting equipment for the new centrifuges is in place.

    They emphasize that Tehran has not started installing the more efficient machines at its Fordow facility and cannot say whether it was planning to.

    But the diplomats say Iran has little reason to prepare the ground for the better centrifuges unless it planned to operate them.

    The diplomats asked for anonymity because their information is privileged.

      Diplomats? From where? There are more than a hundred thousand diplomats.

        "The diplomats asked for anonymity because their information is privileged." Privileged from whom?????????????????????????????????????????????
      • Jw C 3 mths ago
        They are from Syria

        The diplomats who served as sources wish to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the information, as well as likely danger to themselves from Iran/Iranian nationalists/terrorists.

        Privileged for Iranian sources only, presumably. The diplomats are likely serving as an intermediary for someone working on the project who wished for the information to become public.

        Drunk Verbs: Please realize that whether I walk, jog drive or fly to the store, high gas prices will cause everything to inflate in price and have a detrimental effect on our economy.
        I believe you are too slow to comprehend this. Yet you are still allowed to vote. Shame.

      Ahh c'mon already. I think these reporters are sitting in a pub getting wasted and betting with each other who can write the best diatribe to make something happen in the world. Anybody can write anything when you use the line "unknown sources" These stories are going to require a bit more than simply saying "according unknown sources" Until that happens, these stories are baseless...
      • Bob 3 mths ago
        "unknown sources" is the universal catchphrase for "we just made the whole lot up." They should merge the Pulitzer prizes for fiction and journalism so these clowns can compete against real authors.

      Australia is totally unaffected with this world-wide recession, it is speculated by an anonamous person that its because, they guard their own borders, dont send all their money to other countries, and mind their own business. But that is speculation.

    • Wolfman Jones  •  3 mths ago
      I almost believed this until it said Condition of anonymity. This is a #$%$ alert, they guess at the obvious and do not have to back it up. This is stuff well-known already and besides, a diplomat talking to an AP reporter off record? Never happens.
    • Kim Jong Un  •  3 mths ago
      This article is a clueless and worthless news.
    • Bob  •  3 mths ago
      Dirty little secret: there are no diplomats. The turds at AP play a daily game called "Who gets to be today's "anonymous source"?" It's like an inter-office raffle. The winner gets to go around to everyone's desk and make up facts that are incorporated into the stories of the day. Kinda like charades, but with "news." Everyone role plays, some are "diplomats", some are "defense sources", some are "industry experts" or "scientists," and the really lucky ones get to be "Hollywood celebrities who wish to remain anonymous." This is how our media works today, people. What a charming world we live in, huh?
    • Scott  •  3 mths ago
      So now an idiotic 100 word propoganda article which contains absolutely no information or substance is considered to be an "Exclusive" story. The insanity continues and the koolaid drinkers just keep lapping it up. It's obvious that George Jahn put months of painstaking investigative research into this story. "Journalism"....Lol! What a pathetic joke...

      Is hype & fear & terrorism the only commodities Israel exports?
    • WeirdAl  •  3 mths ago
      Let me guess. The diplomats are Israeli.
    • JA  •  Abilene, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      Just a new spin on an old story.

      If we knew they were planning to use this in a peaceful manner as a step toward more efficient power for example that would be one thing. But their leader is a quack to say the least - 95% of the Iranians are fine - it is the 5% douchebags that are the problem.
    • David  •  Solana Beach, California  •  3 mths ago
      Preemptively attacking anyone who may or may not represent a threat at some future time is a really expensive way to run your foreign policy. It also can have unforeseen consequences. If we had not overthrown the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran and installed the Shah, there likely would have been no Iranian Islamic revolution, no hostage crisis, and no Iranian theocracy to begin with.
    • Coco Mandrake  •  Milwaukee, Wisconsin  •  3 mths ago
      Huh....who were these "diplomats"? Israeli diplomats? U.S. diplomats? Mosad diplomats? C.I.A. diplomats? Or just non-traceable and generalized diplomats?
    • kondakondi  •  3 mths ago
      The nuke is for peace purposes unless threatened by thugs like Israelis and the US.
