Iranian state media reported advances in the Islamic regime's nuclear development and missile programs on Wednesday. In direct defiance of UN demands that Iran halt its nuclear program, the Islamic Republic announced that it now has 5,000 centrifuges operating at its uranium enrichment plant, a significant increase from the 4,000 it said were spinning in August. The UN Security Council has already imposed three rounds of sanctions on Iran in an effort to halt operation of the centrifuges needed to produce uranium, the key ingredient for a nuclear weapon. Later Wednesday, state media reported the successful launch of the "Kavosh 2" rocket, a ballistic missile designed to "create a basis for scientific and technological development in the field of space." Israeli missile experts contend that Iran’s “space program” is really a cover for developing inter-continental ballistic missiles.
