Yeah, whatever. Iran will finish its development of the bomb sooner or later.

Iran has dismissed a report alleging that it is working on a key component of a nuclear bomb as a "scenario" hatched by Western powers.
"Some countries are angry that our people defend their nuclear rights," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters on Tuesday.
When Western powers "want to pressure us they craft such scenarios which is unacceptable," he said.
He was reacting to a report in the British newspaper The Times which said on Monday it had obtained notes describing a four-year plan by Iran to test a neutron initiator, the component of a nuclear bomb which triggers an explosion.
The Times claimed that foreign intelligence agencies dated the documents to early 2007 - four years after Tehran was thought to have suspended its weapons program.
It said the documents detailed a plan to test whether the device works - without leaving traces of uranium that the outside world could detect.
Iran insists its nuclear program has only civilian aims and denies allegations that it seeks a nuclear bomb.
Its uranium enrichment work is at the centre of fears about the program, as the process which makes nuclear fuel can also be used to make the fissile core of an atom bomb.
Iran is under three sets of UN sanctions for its refusal to suspend enrichment. It risks a further round after rejecting a UN-brokered deal to send its low enriched uranium abroad to be further refined into fuel for a research reactor.
Yeah, whatever. Iran will finish its development of the bomb sooner or later.

This “technical document describes the use of a neutron source....”
