....and do you realise that those sites "outed" by western intelligence turned out to be duds every time?

“The size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with a peaceful programme,” Mr Brown said. “Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow — endangering the nonproliferation regime, denying its people access to the opportunity they deserve, and threatening the stability and security of the region and the world.”

Well that's a great response.

You claim that only the intelligence agencies know enough yet you seemingly dismiss them as warmongering.

When all they can quote is innuendo, unnamed experts and cannot provide a shred of evidence to support their statements, they look very foolish indeed.

.......

Edit to add... if it's under a mountain, how do they "know" what the size and configuration of the facility is?

If the US / Israel / UK and France all knew about this place, they'd have been singing it from the rooftops way before now, not playing catch-up after Iran disclosed it to the IAEA. The Iranians are lying, we are told, but after years of lies to kick off conflict by the above named states, why the hell should we believe a word they tell us.

With respect to a recent media report, the IAEA reiterates that it has no concrete proof that there is or has been a nuclear weapon programme in Iran.

At the Board of Governors´ meeting on 9 September 2009, Director General Mohamed ElBaradei warned that continuing allegations that the IAEA was withholding information on Iran are politically motivated and totally baseless.

The Agency receives information from a variety of sources that may have relevance to the implementation of safeguards. All such information is critically assessed by a team of experts working collectively in accordance with the Agency´s practices.

The IAEA reiterates that all relevant information and assessments that have gone through the above process have already been provided to the IAEA Board of Governors in reports of the Director General.
