The fact is that after some three years of intrusive inspections, the IAEA has discovered no smoking gun and in its various reports, including the September 2006 report, it has admitted that “to date there is no evidence that the previously undeclared nuclear material and activities were related to a nuclear-weapons program”.
But don’t tell that to the formidable army of Iran nuclear myth makers, whose venerable list includes US Under Secretary of State Nicholas Burns, who said in Dubai this week that “there is no doubt that Iran is actively pursuing nuclear weapons”. Burns and his boss, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, have been busy accusing Iran of meddling inside Iraq and aiming to “dominate the region”, which is, said Burns, “why we have seen the US station two [aircraft] carrier battle groups in the region”.
