Bangladesh seeks nuke help from Iran

Now why did I wince when I read this news story from Iran? A country which is, on average, 6 feet above sea level, the most corrupt country in the world, ruled by a half baked abortion of a government, buttressed by 2 parties lead by two shrieking harridans, surrounded with a rapidly increasing Islamist opposition and jehadi parties. And now Bangladesh wants to get a nuclear power plant from Iran? I hope this was diplomatic speak rather than a statement of intent!

Bangladesh is seeking Iran's help to build a nuclear power plant

Bangladesh is seeking Iran's assistance to build a nuclear power plant to ensure its future energy needs.

In a meeting with the Iranian Ambassador to Bangladesh, Hasan Farazandeh, the Bangladeshi Energy Minister, Tapan Chowdhury, called for Tehran's help in constructing a nuclear power plant.

Chowdhury said Bangladesh has received clearance from the International Atomic Energy Agency on the issue.

Bangladesh's limited gas resources have been estimated to end in 2012, therefore, the country's attempts to exploit nuclear energy are of vital importance to meeting its growing demand for energy.

Dhaka has also stressed the need for new oil refineries. The country's only refinery produces 1.2million barrels a year.
