The Beginning of the End of the Clerical Rule in Iran
No.688


Regime’s nuclear Project


The clerical regime steps up it nuclear projects

The Mullahs try to achieve the atomic bomb before sanctions can affect them thoroughly
Tehran, August 17, 2010
While the sanctions are stepping up pressures on the religious fascism ruling Iran leading also to the deepening of schism within the regime, regime’s head of Atomic Energy Organization announced: “appointing locations for 10 more uranium enrichment sites is done and the construction of one of the sites will be started before the end of the year”.
In another event Ahmadinejad emphasized on continuation of 20% uranium enrichment.
With all these maneuvers that are totally the violation of UN Security Council’s resolutions and the NPT treaty the clerical dictatorship tries to pretend from one hand that the pressure of the sanctions is nothing for it and from the other hand it tries to speed up it nuclear projects to achieve atomic bomb before the sanctions can drastically affect it.

Students Committee in Iran wants to echo the voice of Iran’s resistance that achieving nuclear bomb is a part of Mullahs’ strategy for their ominous survival and they will never give up on that.
Any potential negotiation with this regime will just buy them more time and make the result of the sanctions blunt.
In Students Committee in Iran we demand thorough oil, trade, technology and diplomatic sanctions against this regime as an essential act to prevent the terrorists ruling Iran from achieving atomic bomb and we warn the international society for any negligence in that regard.

Or should we repent because you have made parents to mourn their children such as Neda, Sohrab and...Or because you have buried those you killed at night in unknown graves...Should we repent and ask for pardon because our youths have been tortured and kept in Kahrizak or because you have forced the prisoners to confess as you wish them too?..
Let us warn you that we have no fear from prison and execution at the course of freedom of our homeland”.
