It's rather surprising given the propaganda on this subject, but the consensus of US intelligence agencies remains that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.

- hga 16y agoIgnoring everything else about that finding, if you read the fine print you'll note it excludes the enrichment of uranium to weapons grade. Which they certainly seem to be working furiously on. They don't need any additional work until they've got enough of that stuff. We know from the documents Libya surrendered to us after Saddam was pulled from his spider hole that the Kahn network acquired from the PRC the plans to a 44kT yield uranium implosion device. Plans so detailed they go down to the factory floor level in telling you "using "Loc-tite" of this variety, tighten this bolt to this torque".
