 <title>Iran boosts stocks of high grade uranium</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/26/iran-boosts-stocks-high-grade-uranium</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
I&lt;b&gt;ran almost doubled its stockpile of more highly enriched uranium, which is close to weapons grade, in three months from February&lt;/b&gt;, in a development that will intensify international alarm over the nature of its programme.

 <title>Italian automaker Fiat halts sales to Iran</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/25/italian-automaker-fiat-halts-sales-iran</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;talian automaker Fiat SpA, which controls Chrysler, said Friday that it and subsidiaries will immediately halt sales to Iran, following similar moves by other carmakers under pressure to cut ties to Tehran over its disputed nuclear program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The international community has been toughening sanctions on the Islamic Republic -- including on its main cash cow, oil -- because of fears that it plans to build nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/25/italian-automaker-fiat-halts-sales-iran&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Higher Enrichment At Iranian Site</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/25/higher-enrichment-iranian-site</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
The U.N. atomic agency has found evidence at an underground bunker in Iran that could mean the country has moved closer to producing the uranium threshold needed to arm nuclear missiles, diplomats said Friday.

 <title>How do Israelis, especially Iranians in Israel see Iran?</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/24/how-do-israelis-especially-iranians-israel-see-iran</link>
 <description>To give some background on Iranian Israelis -- an estimated community of 150,000-200,000 -- the first wave of Persian Jewish migration to Israel happened in 1948 after the establishment of the state of Israel, primarily from provincial cities of Iran. These included Isfahan, Shiraz, and Mashhad. The year before and after the 1979 Revolution, there was a second migration wave of Jewish Iranians, especially from Tehran. Many became very successful in Israel, especially in the arts and politics.</description>

 <title>Did Iran Kill One of Its Own Nuclear Scientists?</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/23/did-iran-kill-one-its-own-nuclear-scientists</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;Iranian dissidents have long suspected that the country&#039;s Islamist regime has used the cover of its not-so-covert war with Israel to crack down on internal opponents, and that a leading Iranian nuclear scientist whose death was blamed on Mossad might really have been killed by his own government.&lt;/span&gt;

 <title>Iran sacks diplomat accused of Brazil pool abuse</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/22/iran-sacks-diplomat-accused-brazil-pool-abuse</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The Iranian government says it has sacked a diplomat accused of molesting at least four girls at a swimming pool in Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The official, Hekmatollah Ghorbani, was arrested last month following the alleged incident at a sports club.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was freed later after invoking diplomatic immunity, but was recalled to Teheran.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Iranian Foreign Ministry says an investigation found that his behaviour was contrary to &quot;Islamic moralities&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The incident led to official protests by the Brazilian government, which has good political and trade relations with Iran.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/22/iran-sacks-diplomat-accused-brazil-pool-abuse&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;
South Korea&#039;s largest oil refiner SK Energy &amp;lt;096770.KS&amp;gt; will stop Iranian crude imports after a European Union insurance ban takes effect on July 1, two sources said, effectively making it the first of Tehran&#039;s major Asian oil buyers to halt purchases.

 <title>Diplomats: Nuclear Agency Chief to Visit Tehran</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/18/diplomats-nuclear-agency-chief-visit-tehran</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
The U.N. nuclear agency chief will fly to Tehran over the weekend to sign a deal meant to allow his organization to resume a long- stalled search for evidence that Iran worked on developing nuclear arms, the agency and diplomats said Friday.

 <title>Total Sanctions Might Stop Iran</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2012/05/18/total-sanctions-might-stop-iran</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;As the Iranian regime races to fulfill its nuclear ambitions, the world faces a stark choice. Our near future carries the risk of a military conflict with Iran, or a nuclear arms race in the already-volatile Middle East. It is still possible to avoid these outcomes, but only if like-minded nations act immediately to deliver a potentially decisive economic blow to the regime.&lt;/span&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Two previous rounds of talks in Tehran early this year failed to make any notable progress. But both sides were more upbeat after the May 14-15 meeting in the Austrian capital, raising hopes of a possible outcome when talks resume on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
