  • evidence the project began in 2002
  • educes the level of confidence
  • requires further clarification
  • revealed to the IAEA in September that it had been building a second uranium enrichment plant
  • magery that the IAEA is looking at indicates that the tunnel entrances associated with the facility were built back in 2002.
  • The satellite imagery analysis that we have done tends to support the notion that the tunnel entrances back in 2002 may not yet have been associated with the enrichment plan.
  • atellite imagery shows that the construction would have begun before June 2007, which would put it at the first half of 2007 at the earliest, so that doesn't quite jibe with what Iran was telling the IAEA." 
  • Iran plans to prove that its nuclear programme is unstoppable.
  • That's why they have built this strike-proof (that's what Iran calls it) nuclear plant under the mountains near Qom to prove that Iran will never stop its nuclear programme.
  • concern big enough
