"According to the adopted plan to generate 20,000 MW of
atomic energy over the next 20 years, the Islamic republic has decided to make
some of its own nuclear fuel inside Iran."
Iran's top national
security body announced Thursday on state television that Tehran wanted to
continue controversial uranium enrichment work and warned the UN Security
Council against choosing a "path of confrontation".
"Israel is in the midst of a war against extreme
Islamic terrorist groups, which reject its right to exist. The fighting in the
north has joined that in Judea, Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza, and could last
for a long time."
Army chief Dan Halutz
wrote in a letter to troops, Thursday, whose contents were confirmed by the
army. In the worst Middle East violence in years, Israel has been locked in an
offensive in Lebanon after Hezbollah militiamen snatched two soldiers on July
12, and in Gaza after another soldier was captured by Palestinian militants.
