Iran power station on line

March 21: If Reuters reports are accurate, Iran will exacerbate a foreign policy headache for President Barack Obama. The news agency reports that Iran plans to begin operating its nuclear power plant today to coincide with the Iranian New Year. The United States believes Iran's forays into nuclear energy are a cover for trying to enrich uranium for use in nuclear bombs. Obama has called on the United Nations Security Council to impose further sanctions on Iran to discourage the nation's nuclear program.
