Uncompromising Mullahs

Do you think that the mullahs are interested in compromising on their nuclear program?

Iran on Sunday rejected a European offer aimed at limiting its nuclear fuel activities and warned Washington against "playing with fire" in an increasingly bellicose standoff between Tehran and the West.

Iran would not give up construction of a heavy-water reactor, which can be used to make nuclear weapons material, in exchange for a light-water reactor offered by the Europeans, foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi insisted.

"We welcome such proposals but we will not under any circumstances replace our heavy-water research reactor," Asefi told a news conference.

EU3: "Hey, come on, we'll give you a light-water reactor. That way, you can prove that you only want it for research purposes."

Mullahs: "Yeah, thanks for the offer, but we're going to stick with our heavy-water reactor that we can use for both research and nuclear weapons. I mean, uh... Research. Just research. Yeah, that's the ticket."
