Iran Parliament: Nuclear Reprocessing Must Resume
-------------------------------------------------

(http://enews.voanews.com/t?ctl=D779FE:3919ACA

Legislation says  work on nuclear program must go forward in order to
guarantee Iran's future electricity supplies Iran's Parliament has
overwhelmingly approved a bill ordering a resumption of work on the
government's nuclear program, including uranium enrichment, which
could be used to produce nuclear warheads.

Sunday's legislation said work on the nuclear program must go forward
in order to guarantee Iran's future electricity supplies. The
conservative-dominated Iranian assembly approved the measure by a
margin of more than 10 to one (188 votes out of 205).

The new law pledges that Iran will act within the framework of the
Nuclear Proliferation Treaty in pursuing its program of power
generation and other peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

Authorities in Tehran announced earlier today that nuclear work would
resume soon, pending a new round of talks with the European Union. If
that includes uranium enrichment, members of the European alliance say
will seek action by the U.N. Security Council.
