- 30 April 2006: Iran claims nuclear project breakthrough. “Iran is developing an advanced centrifuge that would allow it to accelerate its controversial uranium enrichment programme, a senior official told state television yesterday. Mohammad Saidi, the vice-president of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation, made the claim a day after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran had ignored a United Nations ultimatum to end enrichment work.”
- 29 April 2006: Iran rejects demands to abandon enrichment. “Iran on Saturday refused to stop uranium enrichment after a U.N. report said it had done little or nothing to prove it was not developing nuclear arms.”
- 27 April 2006: Iran’s Supreme Leader Warns US Against Attacking Iran.
- 26 April 2006: Iran threatens to strike at US targets if attacked
