I keep reading about the Iran nukes story and keep wondering if European liberals are really as naive as the UN or if they’re simply being willfully blind to the potential danger at play in Iran in that unique UN kind of way. And this is one of those double-header questions that gets the answer yes.
I read an Associated press article just now and this part —buried in the middle of the long story—caught my eye:
The diplomat said IAEA [United Nations] inspectors ran into difficulties in Iran on Wednesday when the Iranians refused to let them seal the centrifuges to prevent them being used.
IAEA spokesman Mark Gwozdecky confirmed this, and said that the centrifuges were at the Natanz enrichment plant, a facility which Tehran had kept secret from the U.N. until a group of Iranian exiles revealed its existence in August 2002.
“Iran wants to keep using (the centrifuges) for research and development but this is impossible under the EU deal,” said one diplomat.
