Russian scientist ‘helped Iran with nuclear weapons programme’
‘A Russian scientist may have helped Iran to design advanced detonators whose only possible use would be in a nuclear weapon, according to United Nations inspectors’. So say the UK Daily Telegraph and NY Times, citing anonymous sources. Iran denies this but apparently cannot be shown the evidence against it, and this story could simply be about the Russian weapons scientist sent to Iran by the CIA with fake bomb blueprints in the 2001 Operation Merlin fiasco.
