Nuclear Enrichment Machinery Found In Iran


United Nations inspectors have found sophisticated uranium-enrichment machinery at an air force base outside Iran's capital, Tehran, U.S. and foreign sources with knowledge of the discovery say.

The find at Doshen-Tappen air base appears to undermine Iran's claim it is not pursuing a nuclear bomb.

Under pressure last year to disclose its intentions, Iran agreed in a deal with France, Germany and Britain to suspend efforts to enrich uranium and to let inspectors into the country to prove it is not trying to build bombs.
