Uranium enrichment equipment found at Iranian air force base
from The Associated Press
Vienna, Austria-AP - UN inspectors in Iran have discovered high-tech equipment to process uranium at an air force base outside Tehran. Diplomats say this is the first known link between a suspected nuclear program and the Iranian military.
The equipment found - a gas centrifuge system - is used to process uranium, which can then be used for nuclear fuel or warheads.
This discovery casts doubt over Iran's pledge to be fully open about its nuclear programs. While Tehran insists its uranium enrichment is designed to create fuel, the location of the advanced centrifuge - at the air base - is leading to suspicions its military is involved in the country's nuclear activities.
The United States and other nations have suspected Tehran was secretly trying to make weapons.
President Bush was heard to say, "The weapons of mass destruction are in IRAN! Oops, my bad. Sorry Iraq."
