Iran's Fakhrizadeh: A Crucial Figure with Unparalleled Nuclear Knowledge
(Wall Street Journal) Sune Engel Rasmussen - Officials who have been involved in nuclear diplomacy with Iran say Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was a crucial figure in Iranian nuclear work over the past two decades, with unparalleled knowledge. He was effectively the manager of Iran's nuclear-weaponization program, deciding where to put people, how to recruit them, and how to keep the program secret. "His expertise involved not only technical and programmatic issues but likely the mechanics of building the personnel base and infrastructure of a nuclear-weapons program in an atmosphere of extreme secrecy," said a former senior U.S. intelligence official.
