Iran responded to the UNSC’s criticism by announcing its plan to build ten more nuclear enrichment sites. That’s an old boast: in similar demarches, Iran issued tenders for scores of nuclear power plants. Iran doesn’t need that many sites, cannot defend them, and would find it hard to stock them with uranium.
For their part, the Russians again promised Iran to launch the Bushehr reactor soon. Well, if Russians have promised that the reactor will go hot by late 2009, 2019 would be an optimistic estimate.
