Brazil says “não” to exporting nuclear parts to Iran

The Brazilian government suspended all sales of nuclear equipment to Iran in anticipation of a U.N. report condemning Iran of expanding its uranium enrichment program. The decree issued by president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also freezes the assets of any Brazilian company dealing with the Iranian nuclear program.

Ironically, Brazil has been gradually expanding its nuclear program but has received little attention due to Iran’s defiant actions.
