In their excellent New York Times op-ed today, Gary Milhollin and Valerie Lincy write:
Having begun the Qum plant to supply a bombโs fuel, wouldnโt Iran also create whatโs needed to produce the rest of the bombโs components? This means laboratories to perfect nuclear weapon detonation and workshops to produce the firing sets, high-explosive lenses and other necessary parts. Although there is plenty of suspicion that such sites exist, Iran has not admitted having them.
As if to answer, thereโs this from the Financial Times today:
Iran โhas secret nuclear arms planโ
Britainโs intelligence services say that Iran has been secretly designing a nuclear warhead โsince late 2004 or early 2005โณ, an assessment that suggests Tehran has embarked on the final steps towards acquiring nuclear weapons capability.
