1. This is bogus: How can stockpile decline if stopped?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.20.14)
In the best case scenario the stockpile has not increased but it cannot decline in storage.
2. Ayatollah Khamenei has said time and again :
Yeoshua F. ,   N.Y   (02.20.14)
¨Developing nuclear weapons goes against our Islamic beliefs¨. He has never backed down from this statement and has never lied in over 30 years of his career as a statesman. How many times has PM Netanyahu lied in his career ?.. I need a calculator.. Iran is not a threat, it never was. It is being used as a tool by the apartheid regime and it´s cronies in the U.S congress in order to divert atention from Israel´s deeds in the west bank. There is only one state in the middle east that ¨presumably¨ holds nuclear weapons and has proven through the years to be a threat to the region. Those nuclear weapons should be taken away from it, by diplomacy if possible or by force if necessary.
3. Load Nukes, Stockpiles Go Down!
David H ,   Marietta USA   (02.20.14)
Makes perfect sense to me. Thank goodness John Kerry, great American war hero, is one of the greatest friends Israel ever had.
4. ONLY THE UN YOU SAY....PITTY
les ,   canada   (02.21.14)
who else would believe that story. unless high grade uranium evaporates. iran is big enough country to hide that stockpile, and no one would ever find it. it's like the 10 years before, they swore there is no nuclear activity in iran....:))
5. Weapons are Weapons
ik ,   USA   (02.21.14)
Since Uranium-235 has a half-life of 703.8 million years, I doubt that iran has "reduced " its stockpile of weapon grade material one iota.
6. It's not bogus
fordo ,   Philly, USA   (02.20.14)
Iran suspended higher-grade enrichment and has since converted some of the material into oxide and diluted some to a lower purity. Oxide is not the same as 20% enriched uranium gas. It can not be further refined to higher purity by centrifuges when it is converted to the oxide state..
7. This just what tehran has declared to iaea
(02.21.14)
How long did fordo Go Undetected? Tehran DID NOT DECLEARE, they were Caught and then gave some details! Oh how one forgets.
8. Expect the Iranian talks message to remain the same.
(02.21.14)
Telling the world that talks are positive and moving forward and that there had been a temporary reduction in the amount of enriched uranium of one sort for that of another is all part of the gameof achieving a nuclear bomb and missile system to deliver it while the West sleeps. Probably just a stop gap until the time of confrontation becomes clear. Hoping otherwise but very improbable.
