Ex-Top IAEA Official Warns of Clandestine Iranian Nuclear Sites
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Iran may be hiding as many as five underground clandestine nuclear sites from the IAEA, former deputy director-general for Safeguards at the International Atomic Energy Agency Olli Heinonen has told the Jerusalem Post. Heinonen said that, according to various understandings, Tehran at this stage should not be operating more than 10 advanced IR-6 centrifuges, but that it is already operating 33. Heinonen said he was hopeful that if Iran was getting close to a weapon, Russian and Chinese pressure would keep it from crossing the nuclear finish line.
