I feel like I’m standing on a railway track looking at an oncoming locomotive, unable to move out of the way, as Iran continues its headlong rush to obtain nuclear weapons, and the whole world keeps playing this brainless “do they or don’t they?” game: Diplomats: New Data Suggests Secret Iran Atomic Plan.
A group of Western diplomats who follow the IAEA said recent intelligence has provoked suspicion that Tehran moved enrichment activities away from Natanz to smaller sites that are part of a parallel program U.N. inspectors have not uncovered.
“We’ve got lot of intelligence about small enrichment plants (in Iran) for some months, going back to the November (IAEA) board meeting,” one Western diplomat told Reuters on condition of anonymity. The diplomat gave no details about the form of this intelligence.
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in Vienna, Pirooz Hosseini, told Reuters in a telephone interview that the latest charges were “baseless” and “an attempt to destroy the fruitful cooperation between the IAEA and Iran.”
An IAEA spokeswoman declined to comment.
When Iran lights off a nuclear device, the world will become an infinitely more dangerous place; and this scenario is beginning to look inevitable.
