Iran got N-tech from China, Russia and Pakistan
The International Atomic Energy Agency has identified Russia, China and Pakistan as probable suppliers of some of the technology Iran used to enrich uranium in its suspect nuclear programmes. The diplomats declined to say how the agency established the probable origin of the equipment. Reacting to earlier reports linking it to Iranâs enrichment programme, Pakistan had denied all involvement. Moscowâs public nuclear link with Tehran is a still-to-be-finalised US $800 million deal to help build Iranâs first nuclear reactor. On Wednesday, Washington rejected a proposed European draft resolution that would urge Iran to continue cooperation with the agency but refrain from harshly condemning it for concealing parts of its nuclear programme, saying it was prepared to opt for no resolution rather than a toothless one.Posted by: Paul Moloney 2003-11-21 |
