Iran Making Nuclear Fuel

So the IAEA now confirms that Iran is indeed making nuclear fuel in it's 1,300 centrifuges. The question is: What is the world going to do about it? Are they going to take a hard line like they should, or are they gun shy because of Iraq and willing to let a threat increase in strength every day to make a few bucks? Let's take a look at a damning statement:

The three-paragraph note by IAEA deputy director Olli Heinonen also said Iran had stopped letting inspectors verify design work at the Arak heavy water reactor, under construction and scheduled for launching in 2009.

Iran has to date refused to let the IAEA install video cameras pointed at the underground centrifuges and stopped allowing snap inspections last year in retaliation for U.N. pressure, saying it had no legal obligation to either step.

The threat continues to grow here people. You have a nation who actively supports the insurgency in Iraq, supports Hezbollah and Hamas, called for the destruction of a nation (don't tell me it was a mistranslation, the threat was repeated many times and translated by many different translators), and even their Arab neighbors don't trust them so much they are wanting to start their own nuclear programs in retaliation.

This situation needs to be nipped in the ass as soon as possible, otherwise you'll have yourself a standoff of catastrophic levels.
