Fresh evidence has emerged that Iran is working on a secret military project to develop nuclear weapons that has not been declared to United Nations inspectors responsible for monitoring Iran’s nuclear programme.
Nuclear experts working for the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna are pressing the Iranians to make a full disclosure about a network of research laboratories at a secret military base outside the capital Teheran.
The project is codenamed Zirzamin 27, and its purpose is to enable the Iranians to undertake uranium enrichment to military standard. Zirzamin means “basement” in Farsi, which suggests the laboratories are underground and 27 refers to the 27-year-old Iranian revolution.
The Iranians may hide their nuclear program sites, but can anybody really claim they aren't pretty clear that they want nuclear weapons? That at least is in plain sight, is it not?
Although I'm sure apologists over here will insist that the British newspaper isn't claiming Iran has a nuclear arms program since they added that mysterious "me" to the end of the word. Lord knows what a "programme" is, but it sure isn't a "program." That would mean the Iranians are lying to us and what might we need to do then?
Maybe "ME" is just a suffix that stands for "more electricity," eh?
