Al-Borz News Service: President Ahmadinejad Expected to Announce
Iran's 'Nuclear Birth'

The Iranian news service Al-Borz, which is known to have access to
sources in the Iranian government, predicted that on the first
anniversary of Iranian President Ahmadinejad's government, in late
August 2006, Ahmadinejad is expected to announce what the news service
called Iran's "nuclear birth."

In addition, an August 23, 2006 article about Iran's reply to the
incentives proposal, that was posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry-
affiliated website www.tehrantimes.com , implied that Iran's nuclear
technology had already reached the point of no return: "... If the
West is seeking to impede Iran's nuclear industry, it should realize
that Iran has passed this stage."(1)

The following are excerpts from the Al-Borz report:(2)

"It is expected that the first anniversary of the forming of the ninth
government will be the date of the Ahmadinejad government's 'nuclear
birth.'

"... Together with [the celebration of] the anniversary of the forming
of the ninth cabinet, the president of the country [Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad] will hold his third press conference... where he will
answer questions from journalists from Iran and from abroad.

"In addition to detailing the activities of the government at the end
of [its first] year, the head of the government [i.e. Ahmadinejad]
will officially present Iran's positions on: economic and cultural
matters, the nuclear dossier, the activities of nuclear research
centers, and developments in the region."
