Guardian: "Prime Minister Tony Blair said Thursday that Iran should be referred to the U.N. Security Council if it breaches its nuclear obligations, while Tehran vowed to resume some activities that can be part of the process of making nuclear weapons."
In view of the history of the Iraq war and Blair's 'trustworthiness', this seems to be the first stage of promoting a new war with Iran.
An incident at the UK's Thermal Oxide Reprocessing Plant (THORP) facility at Sellafield shows that there is a greater danger from Britain's own nuclear plants.
EnvironmentNews: "The nuclear fuel reprocessing facility was closed down April 20 following a leak of radioactive fuel."

CounterPunch: "Careless journalists and commentators are hyping the 274,000 new April payroll jobs as evidence of the health of the US economy. An examination of the details of the new jobs puts a different view on the matter.
April's job growth is consistent with the depressing pattern of US employment growth in the 21st century: The outsourced US economy can create jobs only in domestic nontradable services."
FinancialTimes: "Real wages in the US are falling at their fastest rate in 14 years, according to data surveyed by the Financial Times.
Inflation rose 3.1 per cent in the year to March but salaries climbed just 2.4 per cent, according to the Employment Cost Index. In the final three months of 2004, real wages fell by 0.9 per cent."
