Iran: We Lied! not really
By Cyrus Safdari | Iran Affairs | September 21, 2012
Naturally, the New York Times seized on this the story that an official in charge of Irans nuclear program, Fereydoon Abbasi, has admitted that Iran occasionally tried to mislead on its nuclear program:
Irans top atomic energy official said in an article published Thursday that because of foreign espionage, his government had sometimes provided false information to protect its nuclear program.
Note the crucial bit of missing information here, left out by the NY Times in order to spin this sentence as some sort of confession by Iran of having hidden nukes: WHO WHOM? TO WHOM has he said Iran provided false information to the IAEA or to Western spies?
Because thats a real crucial bit of difference! Needless to explain: Theres generally no obligation on a country to allow foreign spying, especially when its scientists are being assassinated. However the NY Times simply runs with the assumption that this official is saying We lied to the IAEA because were making nukes rather than We tried to mislead foreign intelligence agencies so they would not assassinate us. Go back and read it again, better yet read the original Arabian news report. Or translate it. You wont see him saying We lied TO THE IAEA because were hiding nukes Instead, hes referring to foreign intelligence agencies. But thats not how the NY Times spins it...
