Clinton on Iran: “We don’t know what to believe”
Discussing yesterday’s claims by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Iran has 7,000 active centrifuges, completing the nuclear fuel enrichment cycle, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admits to having no clue what is happening inside of the country.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday she did not see Iran‘s latest statements about its nuclear program as a rebuff to U.S. overtures to engage Tehran.
The top U.S. diplomat also voiced skepticism about Iran’s new claims that it had made major progress in its nuclear program and tested more advanced equipment for enriching uranium.
“We do not attribute any particular meaning, with respect to the range of issues that we are looking to address with the Iranians, from this particular statement,” Clinton said at a news conference when asked about an Iranian statement that it was now running 7,000 enrichment centrifuges.
Enriching uranium can produce fuel for a nuclear power plant or, if purified to a much higher degree, provide material for an atomic bomb.
“We don’t know what to believe about the Iranian program. We’ve heard many different assessments and claims over a number of years,” said Clinton of Iran’s latest claims.
Well, Madam Secretary, we do know what to believe. Soon, Iran will have nuclear weapons (Joel 2:3, 30; Malachi 4:1), and Iran will attempt to use them in concert with Russia (Psalm 83:4-5; Ezekiel 38:5). Just as they have promised to do.
