Frightening if true, but the story is not exactly corroborated. Fisk himself (a rather controversial, and politically active reporter) only devotes one phrase to the allegation, with no support whatsoever ("it is now clear ..."). Repetition of the same claim does not add to its veracity, and the "corroborating" source is an Iranian website that cites no source whatsoever for the claim. I'd take this claim with a grain of salt, at least until it acquires more substantive support.
