Iranian students surround nuke facility in support of govt. program

Thousands of Iranian students on Tuesday, November 15, formed a human chain around Isfahan's Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) in Central Iran in a bid to show full support for the government's nuclear policy, Fars News Agency reported.

After holding a noon prayer session in front of the plant's main gate, students from nationwide universities shouted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America." They vowed to resist in the event of an attack.

During the ceremony initiated by Isfahan University students, the students supported Iran's peaceful nuclear activities and voiced protest against the report recently released by Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano.
