Iran is boldly demanding that Britain, France and Germany actively support its quest for advanced nuclear technology for both civilian and military purposes, rather than opposing it, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Wednesday.
Iranian officials made the "extraordinary" demand during talks in Paris on defusing international tension over Tehran's nuclear intentions, the newspaper's diplomatic editor reported.
During the meeting, which the Daily Telegraph said took place earlier this month, the Europeans tried to convince their Iranian counterparts to honour an earlier deal to suspend a controversial uranium enrichment programme.
Instead the Iranians set out their own demands, stating that Europe's three biggest nations -- two of them nuclear powers -- should back Iran's quest for "advanced (nuclear) technology, including those of dual use".

Where in the article did it say they want to have nuclear weapons? All I read was that they want nuclear technology. And they have the right to develop whatever they want, it is a sovereign country afterall.

The Iranian demands include:
* a call on the EU Three to back Iran�s insistence that it have access to �advanced (nuclear) technology, including those with dual use� � a term for equipment and know-how with both peaceful and weapons applications;
* a demand that they �remove impediments� � present sanctions � preventing Iran access to such technology;
* an assurance that the European powers stick to the commitments even if faced with �legal (or) political ... limitations� � an apparent allusion to potential Security Council sanctions on Iran;
* agreement by the EU Three to meet Iran�s conventional weapons requirements;
* and a commitment to push �rigorously and systematically� for a non-nuclear Middle East and to �provide security assurances� against a nuclear attack on Iran � both allusions to Israel, which is believed to have nuclear arms and destroyed Iraq�s nuclear reactor in a 1981 strike to prevent it from making atomic arms.

a civil gas diffusion type plant of 5,000 stages, capable of annually producing, say, 500kg of 20% enriched uranium for research reactor fuel, could be readily adapted to yield 25kg or so of 90% enriched uranium per year - this is sufficient for the manufacture of a single, enriched uranium A-bomb warhead per year.
In effect, all enrichment plants are dual capable in that low, moderate and highly enriched uranium can be produced for both civil and military applications.

why would they risk so much political and economic damage for a supply of power that they can so easily produce with their current oil and gas capabilities?
