Check the Geiger Counters — there must be some mistake
Iran surely does not have highly enriched uranium that the West was unaware of. Heaven forfend:
UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 1 (UPI) — The International Atomic Energy Agency told the U.N. Security Council its inspectors have found new traces of enriched uranium in Iran.
The discovery marked the third instance that highly enriched uranium was found at an Iranian facility, but the IAEA said the nuclear fingerprint on the new discovery does not match that found on earlier samples, which the agency had concluded came from contaminated equipment from Pakistan, The New York Times reported Friday.
The 6-page IAEA report did not identify where the uranium might have originated or whether it was connected to a secret nuclear program in Iran. The country has insisted that its nuclear program is aimed only at producing energy, a task that would use uranium enriched at much lower levels than that found by the IAEA inspectors.
Surely there’s some mistake. Why, just the other day President Ahmadinejad said Western accusations of the belligerent intent of Iran’s nuclear program were “a big lie.”

On the off chance that you do not know where we are coming from in discussing Ahmadinejad’s and Iran’s truthfulness, see Michael Rubin’s article in AEI today.
