Iran begins uranium enrichment

New but not entirely unexpected news of out Iran this morning when the country announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic oil route, and plans to enrich uranium in a well protected underground location. As the Us and its allies in Europe and around the globe place tighter sanctions on Iran the country insists that it is only enriching uranium for energy and medical purposes. Between one-sixth of the worlds oil traveling through the strait of Hormuz and Iran's unsettled government many countries fear Iran having weapons grade uranium. Iran is in for a long fight with the whole world if they go ahead with the closure of the strait of Hormuz.
