Source: Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Iran's new generation of advanced centrifuges have begun processing small quantities of the gas that can be used to make the fissile core of nuclear warheads, diplomats told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

That is the question many are asking. Will Israel depend on the United States or as it did in Iraq, act on its own? And then more importantly what will Russia do? Russia has an alliance with Iran. And may act to defend Iran. We may finally be at midnight on the doomsday clock.

We are here because of the maniacal vision of the Bush family. From Samuel Bush to George W Bush. A world order that has become a world disorder.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia warned Iran on Wednesday that its development of rockets and continued uranium enrichment was creating the impression Tehran was intentionally ignoring the concerns of the international community.

"We do not approve of Iran's actions in constantly demonstrating its intentions to develop its rocket sector and continue enriching uranium," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Russian news agencies.
