Watchdog Finds Evidence that Iran Worked on Nuclear Triggers
(New York Times) David E. Sanger and William J. Broad - The International Atomic Energy Agency revealed for the first time on Tuesday that it possesses evidence that Tehran has conducted work on a highly sophisticated nuclear triggering technology that experts said could be used for only one purpose: setting off a nuclear weapon. A report on the progress of Iran's nuclear program also indicated that Iran has begun to recover from the effects of the Stuxnet computer worm. Iran's main production site at Natanz is now producing low-enriched uranium at rates slightly exceeding what it produced before being hit by Stuxnet. The computer worm appears to have been designed in a secret project in which the U.S., Israel and some European allies all played a role.
