American justice also investigates 9 other foreign banks

The battle between the Iran and the great powers is now more akin to Judo to a game of chess. The Six (United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, China, Russia), which representatives held yesterday in London an umpteenth meeting on nuclear power, are working on a new "strangulation" of the Iran, which tries to find a parade, that both sides are to agree a day. While Barack Obama repeated Sunday that the Iranians have a choice "between nuclear weapons and a better future", the Six were discussed yesterday of new sanctions or rewards to encourage Tehran to abandon a program suspected to allow the production of nuclear weapons. The Iran has a disturbing feature to enrich uranium for years for, he said, the generation of electricity, without however so far of an operational reactor for this purpose.

The Six will find it difficult to agree on new sanctions, as Beijing is reluctant to punish the fourth exporter world oil, like Moscow, engaged for a long time in nuclear cooperation with Tehran. The Six also decided yesterday to reach out to the Iran by inviting a direct meeting with them to discuss his program.

Barack Obama decided to break with the isolation of the Iran strategy followed by his predecessor, as illustrated by the recent invitation of Iranian leaders to the Conference devoted to the stabilization of the Afghanistan where, it is true, Washington and Tehran have common interests with the Taliban. However, Western countries do not release the pressure and strictly apply the sanctions provided for three of the UN Security Council resolutions, which provide for the prohibition to sell to the Iran any missile or nuclear equipment. Justice American indicted yesterday a Chinese company, LIMMT, to have supplied businesses related to the military-industrial complex Iranian as Amin Industrial Group or Khorasan Metallurgy Industries, through front companies working with banks Mellon or JP Morgan.

LIMMT Chinese society, which had been the subject of us sanctions in 2006, has been charged following an investigation into the illegal financial links maintained by Lloyds Bank with the Iran, which had led Lloyds Bank to pay 350 million dollars in January to put an end to the prosecution. American justice also investigates 9 other foreign banks. Credit Switzerland and Barclays have recognized that they were cooperating with investigators.

Delivery of 10 "mixers".

For its part, source generally well informed in Tehran, a company linked to the Iranian Ministry of defence endeavour to procure equipment for the production of plutonium by said process "of liquid-liquid extraction" from tubes of nuclear fuel from the Bushehr plant, become operational late February with the assistance of Moscow. Tehran would seek, if not necessarily to have nuclear bombs, at least as quickly as possible to the "threshold" where it could produce very quickly if he wished. Purchases, which have already led the delivery of 10 "mixers" to separate the plutonium from the uranium, would be resolved by companies screens via the Finnish financial system with which the Central Bank of Iran has connections since it deposits with the bank Nordea. The Central Bank, which is not part of the ostracized by the United Nations entities, has recently been ordered by Iranian President to help the country out of its isolation by relying on the financial system, particularly German BHF Bank.
