Many of us doubt that Iran is on the way to build a nuclear bomb. Trying to find the truth is not easy. It was a bit of a one sided conversation since I dont know the inner workings of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN body that monitors nuclear developments.
But Robert Kelly, a nuclear energy engineer and ex-department director at the IAEA, has brought me up to speed.
According to him the evidence described in a widely quoted report issued in November 2011 by the Director General of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano, is sketchy. Furthermore, the way the data has been presented produces a sickly sense of déjà vu.
It is accepted that Iran at one time had a nuclear weapons programme. The countrys enormous investment in a secret underground uranium-enrichment complex in the city of Natanz is proof of a clandestine operation. The military plutonium-production reactor in Arak is yet another indicator.
