U.S. Told of Iranian Effort to Create Nuclear Warhead
(Washington Times)Bill Gertz - Recent intelligence shows Iran has been working to produce a missile re-entry vehicle containing a small nuclear warhead for its Shihab missiles, based on an indigenous Iranian design, U.S. officials said. They also said Iran has encountered problems developing a reliable centrifuge system for uranium enrichment. Iran has deployed at least six 620-mile-range Shihab-3 missiles, said the London-based International Institute of Strategic Studies.
