Iran's nuclear plans a mess
According to the observer, Iran's nuclear capability has been highly exaggerated and has actually been plagued by failures.
"Iran's efforts to produce highly enriched uranium, the material used to make nuclear bombs, are in chaos and the country is still years from mastering the required technology.
"Iran's uranium enrichment programme has been plagued by constant technical problems, lack of access to outside technology and knowhow, and a failure to master the complex production-engineering processes involved. The country denies developing weapons, saying its pursuit of uranium enrichment is for energy purposes."

Sean-Paul Kelley of The Agonist notes that there is circumstantial evidence that Iran is not complying with IAEA requests because its leaders do not want the Iranian public to know what a dismal flop the nuclear program is. Not when food prices are sky high and unemployment is rampant.
