Wow!  They seem to be quite busy..

“The Iranian nation will celebrate stabilization and establishment of its nuclear rights during the Ten-Day Dawn, (sic)” Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. The “ten-day dawn” in early February marks the date of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979.  “When a nation decides to stand on its own feet to climb up the peaks, God helps it and that nation will embrace victory,” Ahmadinejad said.  The Iranian government’s boasts of “great achievements” included an announcement on Saturday that Iranian scientists have “introduced an AIDS cure”.  

All is not well considering that Ardeshire Hassanpour, 44, a nuclear physicist, had been assassinated by Mossad, the Israeli security service.  Did the Jews wipe the Iranian off the face of the map?  I am not so sure this is true.  Allah linked to another report out today about the alleged secret shambles that is Iran’s nuclear program. The Guardian had this story last week and now the Times is saying the same thing:

The many setbacks and outright failures of Tehran’s experimental program suggest that its bluster may outstrip its technical expertise. And the problems help explain American intelligence estimates that Iran is at least four years away from producing a nuclear weapon:

What the Iranians are not talking about, experts with access to the atomic agency’s information say, is that their experimental effort to make centrifuges work has struggled to achieve even limited success and appears to have been put on the back burner so the country’s leaders can declare that they are moving to the next stage:

To enrich uranium on an industrial scale, the machines must spin at very high speeds for months on end. But the latest report of the atomic agency, issued in November, said the primitive machines of the Iran’s pilot plant ran only intermittently, to enrich small amounts of uranium. And the Iranians succeeded in setting up just two of the planned six groupings of 164 centrifuges at the pilot plant:

The dimensions of Iran’s technical woes are suggested by its delayed schedules. Tehran originally planned to have all six cascades of its experimental plant operating by 2003, and to begin installing centrifuges in the industrial halls in 2005.
