Don't worry, Brock will disarm us.

Last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) revealed that they had possession of Iranian documents dating from 2004 containing a drawing showing how to make part of an atomic warhead and its delivery system. They called this development “alarming.” Would that anyone might notice, much less be alarmed.

Furthermore, the documents indicate a clear and sole military purpose to the atomic technology involved – as if there were any peaceful purpose for a nuclear warhead. This runs directly counter to the repeated denials made by Tehran that their known uranium-enriching program was for domestic energy production. And this enriching will soon be up to 6,000 centrifuge cascades, meaning they would have sufficient fissile material to detonate this warhead by this autumn.  [continue The World Dithers While Iran Goes Nuclear]
