I think that they're sufficiently inept, they didn't actually know what it was they were selling. What they apparently had, from the Myanmar rebel group, was access to a Myanmar uranium mine (natural uranium); there was a concrete offer of 50 tonnes of ore. What they discussed offering to Iran, repeatedly, was "enriched uranium". It's non-credible that the Myanmar rebels have a secret enrichment program. In at least one text, it's clear they didn't even understand the difference: page 4, "How enriched is it? Above 5 percent?"... "I think so and I hope so".
