Iran accused of hiding secret nuclear weapons site

Iran accused of hiding secret nuclear weapons site By Con Coughlin, Defence and Security Editor(Filed: 12/06/2006)

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.

Concerns over activity at Zirzamin 27 will be raised at this week’s meeting of the IAEA’s Board of Governors in Vienna, which starts today.
Suspicions have been growing that Iran has a secret military nuclear research programme since UN inspectors discovered particles of enriched uranium at a research complex at Lavizan, a military base on the outskirts of Teheran, in 2003.

Iran accused of hiding secret nuclear weapons site

Jumping catfish what a ridiculous headline! I thought it had been established some years ago the Iran was doing the very thing the headline now seems amazed about! (Next headline to read, "Water is wet and is suspected of having been wet for thousands of years") And of course if its secret, then you'd want to hide it. This article should be filed with the other things that go on and just make think, 'WELL DUH.'

The only way to stop Iran playing with nukes, is nuke them before they can nuke us. We won't of course do that and then their will be finger pointing, hints, allegations, hand-wringing, and more 'DUH HEADLINES'!
