Shady "intermediary" in Iran nuke dealings...

[druidity33]

Just a thought... i wonder who this intermediary is? Someone embarassing to the US gov perhaps?

But, in an effort to be "completely transparent" about its current and past nuclear programs, Iran had also voluntarily provided the IAEA all sorts of information about its past activities.

In particular, Iran showed the Agency a handwritten one-page document reflecting an offer they said had been made to them back in 1987 by a "foreign intermediary" relating to "centrifuge technology acquisition."

According to Goldschmidt, the offer included the delivery of: a disassembled gas-centrifuge and engineering drawings, therefore; engineering drawing for a "complete" uranium-enrichment plant; auxiliary vacuum and electric drive equipment for the centrifuges, as well as the materials for constructing 2000 centrifuge machines.

The offer also included equipment for the production and casting of uranium metal.

The Iranians said only some of these items had been ordered, and not all of those ordered had been delivered. But all that had been delivered had now been declared to the IAEA.
