Today’s Big Shocker
Everyone surprised by this story, raise your hand.
Teheran had assured European leaders that it would suspend uranium enrichment activities, but new information suggests otherwise
Iran has drawn up secret plans to make large quantities of a gas that can be used to produce highly enriched uranium, despite promises to suspend enrichment activities.
Gholam Reza Aghazadeh, Iran’s atomic energy chief, has authorised construction of a plant to make Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride (AHF), a gas that has many uses, from petrochemical processing to uranium enrichment.
The plant is expected to be finished by 2006 and will have a capacity to produce 5,000 tons of AHF a year, according to a Western intelligence official.
It is to be built near Isfahan, a city where the authorities are said to have authorised a number of secret nuclear facilities.
