Wonderful

Are the Iranians getting bolder?

An Iranian plant that produces heavy water officially went into operation on Saturday, despite U.N. demands that Tehran stop the activity because it can be used to develop a nuclear bomb.


Not to worry, though:

Mohammed Saeedi, the deputy head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said the heavy water plant is "one of the biggest nuclear projects" in the country, state-run television reported. He said the plant will be used in the pharmaceutical field and in diagnosing cancer.


Oh, and it will probably make baby formula, too.

So get those thoughts of Iran building atomic weapons right out of your silly head!
