Updated Wednesday, February 10, 2010 9:31 am TWN, By Nasser Karimi, AP Iran to stop enrichment if given nuclear fuelIran is set to start enriching its stockpile of uranium to 20 percent on Tuesday, in a step sure to antagonize Western nations that fear the enrichment work could eventually yield material for a nuclear weapon. France and the U.S. said Monday Iran's action left no choice but to push harder for a fourth set of U.N. Security Council sanctions to punish Iran's nuclear defiance. Russia, which has close ties to Iran and has opposed new sanctions, appeared to edge closer to Washington's position, saying the new enrichment plans show the suspicions about Iran's intentions are well-founded. Ali Akbar Salehi, a vice president as well as the head of the country's nuclear program, said the further enrichment would be unnecessary if the West found a way to provide Iran with the needed fuel. "Whenever they provide the fuel, we will halt production of 20 percent," he told state TV late Monday. Iran has so far enriched uranium to a level of 3.5 percent, which is suitable for use in fueling nuclear power plants. The process is of concern to the West, however, because at higher levels — around 90 percent — the material can be used to make weapons. The West fears that Iran's enrichment program is ultimately geared toward military purposes — a charge Iran denies. On Tuesday, the spokesman of Iran's Foreign Ministry, Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters the higher enrichment will be done with the cooperation and supervision of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, adding that "if other countries or the agency could provide the fuel, our attitude can be different as well." Mehmanparast said any plan by the West to impose new Security Council resolutions would not be helpful. "If they attempt another resolution, they are making a mistake. It is not helpful in resolving the nuclear dispute between Iran and the West," he said. "They are completely wrong if they think our people will back down even a single step." Salehi said Iran has been trying to buy the higher enriched fuel for its research reactor for the past several months, but the West made providing the fuel conditional on Iran's acceptance of a U.N.-drafted agreement to ship its uranium stockpile abroad first. That plan would come with some safeguards, because the enriched fuel provided to Iran would be in a form that would be difficult to further process to make weapons.

Russia and India jointly developing military hardware and therefore India will never favor Iran rather India intend to neutralize any emerging Muslim power. Today India definitely convinced Russia to go against Iran in order to please its master USA and that is why Russia showing double face and considering to go against Iran.
Russian betrayed with Iraq in the past. It is simple as long as Russia remain a friend of India , Russia will never favor any Muslim nation. Period.
Therefore, China is a friend of Muslim Pakistan and today China strongly opposed any resolution against Iran. Therefore Iran should get lesson and accordingly Iran, Pakistan and China with other strong Muslim nation like Turkey must make strategic military joint confederation,
As today, Iran announced that it will soon start to production of more advanced air defense missile than that of Russian S 300 Missile. The betrayal Russia even did not deliver its proposed S300 missile to Iran, now imagine how selfish Russia that all happened by the influence of India.
Therefore, it is time for China to grab Iran and protect Iran not only by vetoing UN resolution but militarily stand by Iran. If Smart China do this today then Iran will be the magnet for entire Muslim world and every Muslim nation will line up behind Iran and Iran means China.
Then , It will be time to give a lesson to Muslim's enemy India and Iran and Pakistan must force Russia whether it stay with India or stay with Muslim nation means China.
So it is the ripe time for China to signal a stern warning to the west not to play with Iran if China does it today Iran's future unprecedented invented technology will be shared with Muslim's trustful big brotherly friend China. I am Indian Muslim I feel that I will be secured if Iran stay with China and Pakistan and become jointly world's big power then Hindus in India will think million times to hit 200 million Muslim India .
Therefore, on behalf of Indian 200 million Muslim, I request China to stay with Iran with militarily and slap the face of the west and India regarding Iran's matter.
Then China will rule the whole world and it is clear prophecy in the holy Quran that China will be Muslim's trustful friend and China will stand by Muslim in all regard. Now it is a signal coming from China and we hope Great China will prove by practical action.
