High Tension Mullahs

Well, isn't this story interesting?

Reporting Iran to the UN Security Council over its nuclear program would "breed tension" and increase volatility in the Middle East, Iranian Vice President Gholamreza Aghazadeh said Monday.

"There is no doubt that a report to the Security Council initiates a chain of events, of actions and reactions that breed tension and add volatitility to an already vulnerable political situation in the region," Aghazadeh told a meeting of the 138 nations of the UN watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna.

Aghazadeh said a resolution adopted by the IAEA's board of governors on Saturday that threatened to take Iran before the Security Council for violations of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) showed "how issues can reach the borders of absurdity when politics overwhelm the work of the agency."

Fascinating. So does that mean that illegally enriching uranium and developing nuclear technology doesn't increase tension in the region!?
