Iran Has Resumed A-Bomb Project, Says West

Tehran announced that it has no intention of halting its uranium enrichment programme

From The Telegraph:

Iran has resumed work on constructing highly sophisticated equipment that nuclear experts say is primarily used for building atomic weapons, according to the latest intelligence reports received by Western diplomats.

The work is aimed at developing the blueprint provided by Dr AQ Khan, the "father" of Pakistan's nuclear bomb, who sold Iran details of how to build atom bombs in the early 1990s.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which has overall responsibility for the country's nuclear programme, has set up several civilian companies to work on the programme whose activities are being deliberately concealed from the United Nations nuclear inspection teams.

My Comment: Iran's direct involvement with terrorist groups that target Westerners makes their threats worth listening to. Unfortunately for us in the West, the options to counter Iran are very limited. The Iranian theocracy are looking for a war .... they feel that to insure their position in their country they must ferment a low level of conflict. The problem is that they are underestimating the response that will be directed at them as they continue down this path.
