The British newspaper the Telegraph is reporting today that Western diplomats have received intelligence indicating that Iran has resumed its nuclear weapons development program.
According to the report, the work is being hidden from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Iran maintains the work being done at the Natanz nuclear plant is for the development of electricity.
Iranian officials have repeatedly threatened Israel. And Israel recently conducted military maneuvers over the Mediterranean to show Tehran that it has the capability to reach Natanz if necessary.

I am not sure whether 'resumed' is quite the right word to describe what Iran is doing with it's nucleur weapons programme since I am not sure that they ever stopped. What evidence is there that it stopped? The word of Ahmedinejad who said it had stopped 3 years earlier? You would have to excuse me for being sceptical about that!
It's interesting that the relationship between Iran and Venezuella is becoming more closely bound - and that Kim Il Jong is also part of that particular group of disenfranchised people. There is a clear agenda by some countries to divide and cast doubt on the strong Western nations, and at the same time villifying Israel, whatever they do.
So much for the Bush administration's threat assessment suggesting Iran no longer posed a nuclear threat.
Of course, this is the same intelligence community and administration that got it wrong on 9/11, so what else should we have expected?
