Here we go again. You'd think the world would have learned a lesson from Saddam Hussein...that if you give jihadists an inch, they take 20 miles. The U.N. sanctions, the declarations of the United Nations nuclear watchdog group have done nothing to stop Iran from progressing with their aggressive nuclear capabilities. In fact, Iran has become more aggressive than ever and it has now become a case of "in your face" type of attitude. This from an article out of Breitbart here:
Now, there have been many reports in the past week about plans by the U.S. and Israel to finally take some action against the Iranians and another key tip off to this is a speech scheduled by President Bush to the American people regarding Iraq - it's my guess that he is going to lay a foundation in that speech that will justify action on Iran. The unbelievable thing about this is that Iran is so blatantly hostile about it all. I cannot for the life of me figure out if Iran is convinced the world won't act against them or if they truly feel that allah will shield them from any attack. We'll see.
Iran on Tuesday announced it was embarking on the installation of thousands of new centrifuges to enrich uranium at its main nuclear plant in defiance of UN Security Council calls to freeze the sensitive process.
"Today, the phase for installing 6,000 new centrifuges at the facility in Natanz has started," the website of state broadcasting quoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying at the atomic plant.

Iran seeks thousands more nuclear centrifuges
His announcement came as Iran marked its "national day of nuclear technology", which commemorates the April 2006 anniversary of its first production of uranium sufficiently enriched to make atomic fuel.
According to the latest report by the UN nuclear watchdog, Iran has already installed around 3,000 P1 centrifuges at an underground enrichment facility at the plant in Natanz, central Iran.
If Iran succeeded in installing 6,000 centrifuges, it would mark a major expansion of its nuclear programme.
The West fears Iran could use uranium enrichment to make a nuclear weapon, and Tehran's refusal to suspend the process has been punished with three sets of UN Security Council sanctions and US pressure on its banking system.
Ahmadinejad also inspected a "new generation" of centrifuges which Iranian engineers are building at an over-ground research facility at the plant, the official IRNA news agency reported.
These are Iran's version of the more efficient P2 centrifuges -- the IR-2 -- which can enrich uranium considerably faster than the standard P1 models. The reports did not say how many of these centrifuges Iran has built.
Ahmadinejad said he would be announcing more "good news" at a major ceremony at 1600 GMT at the headquarters of Iranian state broadcasting in Tehran alongside the head of Iran's atomic energy organisation Gholam Reza Aghazadeh.
"We have reached new achievements and in the ceremony I shall talk about this," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.
