Foreign Correspondence

[Amaunet]

Iran is to resume elements of its uranium enrichment programme tomorrow in a move which worsens the confrontation with the west over Tehran's suspected ambition to develop a nuclear bomb at the same time that a 10-member Iranian delegation led by its deputy oil minister Mohammad Hadi Nejad Hosseinian is on a two-day visit to Delhi and a broader agreement is expected to be signed between the two sides on Tuesday, on the price for sale of 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG to India along with a 20 per cent equity offering by Iran in its Kushk-Husseinieh oil field, a huge discovered oil field producing oil at the rate of 300,000 barrels per day (BPD).

Iran has just bought themselves another ally; this one like some of the others carries a big nuclear stick.
