Records show Iran lied about making nuclear weapons, scientists say

A non-profit global science and security group says in a new report that Iran has built a plant to produce nuclear weapons despite its insistence that all its atomic endeavors are wholly peaceful.

The Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Science and International Security said the 30-page report is based on documents from the Iran Nuclear Archive that were seized by Israel two years ago.

The analysis, posted Wednesday, said Tehran has "clearly" been dishonest with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which relies on government cooperation and onsite inspections. "Iran should declare this site to the International Atomic Energy Agency and allow its inspection, since the facility was designed and built to handle nuclear material subject to safeguards under Iran's comprehensive safeguards agreement," wrote scientists David Albright, Sarah Burkhard and Frank Pabian. The report says Iran created the Shahid Mahallati Uranium Metals Workshop, near Tehran, to research and develop uranium metallurgy related to building nuclear weapons -- particularly components for weapons-grade uranium, the key explosive material in Iranian nuclear weapon cores.

The group said Iran told the IAEA more than four years ago it hadn't done any metallurgical work intended for nuclear weaponry and wasn't willing to discuss any similar activities "that did not have such an application."

we continue to think these religious fanatics will bend to financial pressure, especially afer Imam Obama gave them their money back. . They believe it is their moral imperative to end the weapon and bring about the last Mahdi

Argumentum ad lapidem and false accusations; people who criticize your stances are not necessarily such people.

And you didn’t answer my question with respect to Red China and Saudi Arabia.

As for war (as the left has been making our forces conduct it, with hands tied), I do not want that; I want victory. As Sun Tzu says, there are ways to eliminate your enemy’s resistance without fighting.

[stuckincali]

what would you do knowing they are religious fanatics, These are not the soviets or saddam.

[rintintin]

Thanks for letting me know you want more wars in the Middle East - based on same “logic” behind Bush’s invasion of Iraq

[stuckincali]

once they have the bomb and ICBMs this will be like suicide by cop on a cataclysmic level.

[rintintin]

Exact same thing they said to justify the war afInst Iraq. You sound like the ghost of McCain

[NTHockey]

In other news, the sun rose in the east this morning.

[halfright]

Right we have been attacked with biological warfare. What are WE gonna do about it? There has to be EXTREME response to their attack. Cant happen again, ever

[stuckincali]

Iran is run by shia fanatics. Iraq was run by a dictator who was non-secular, who’s own geberals thought they ere developing the bomb. .

I opposed iraq. i support taking down the Iranian regime and development sites now. as i did the last 40 years.

If you can’t see the difference; can’t help you. I guess you can use that excuse anytime even when the ICBMs are on the way to europe and Israel. and the east coast.

When someone threatens to kill me and drives to the gun store for ammo, I don’;t say, that’s like my ex wife who said she would kill me if I ate the last of the ice cream. Maybe, just maybe when someone starts to develop weapons or load the gun and point it at you, you might take them a little less dismissively.

But nice try.

[rintintin]

Look you’ve made your point that you want another mideast war. I get it. You can stop now, nobody is unclear about your position

[stuckincali]

No, you don’t get it. And you keep misrepresenting my position.

No one wants war, except religious fanatics and a few others.

Just like reasonable people don’t want religious fanatics to have nuclear weapons and ICBMs after they threaten us.

You really don’t get much.

[stuckincali]

IIRC I read that a Pakistani nuclear physicist took the info on the bomb to NK and Iran. Don’t have source.

I do know Clinton let Loral have missile guidance tech and Cray super computers to run the software after taking bribes from the chinese. (Chinagate).

[Billthedrill]

No surprises in this but I suppose it’s nice to get confirmation. The story that a major oil exporting country is starving for an alternate source of energy was always good for a laugh. Reactor grade uranium is 3% U235. Anything over that is for something else.

[Zman]

Must be something in the regional water supply....remember Iraq’s Baby Milk Factory? Actually a bioweapons lab...

[rintintin]

You’re still at it? Give it a rest! It’s been 12 years since McCain sang “bomb bomb bomb Iran”. to the tune of “Barbara Ann”. Americans didn’t want that war then, and they still don’t. But you McCainiacscwill still be singing that song 30 or even 50 years from now

Some people never wise up

But I do understand what your position is. You’ve made your beliefs very clear. Now please give it a rest

[stuckincali]

I’M still at it. LOL

Take that McCain BS and shove it.

If you want crazies to have the bomb and ICBMs guess what that makes you, Obama?

[stuckincali]

I’M still at it. LOL

Take that McCain BS and shove it.

If you want crazies to have the bomb and ICBMs guess what that makes you, Obama?

[rintintin]

Yes, you should change your handle from stuck in cal to McCainJr ! Lol

[stuckincali]

Obama bud, send your check to Mullahs In Teheran , Postal code NUKE INCOMING, Iran O I shoulda listened.

[rintintin]

There used to be a lot more warmongers like you in the GOP. Most became Nevertrumpers, like Bill Kristol and Max Boot. Glad to see them gone. lol!
