Sunday, February 4, 2007 - Nothing seems extraordinary on the quiet provincial road outside the
ancient Iranian city of Isfahan. Then suddenly, nestling beneath the
mountains, a tall chimney emerges flanked by an impressive complex of
buildings.
This is the Iranian plant for converting uranium, a centrepiece of the
Islamic republic's nuclear programme, and rarely opened up to outsiders......Driving along, there is little indication of the strategic importance
of the verdant 60 hectare complex except a raft of yellow "No Photo"
signs and occasional anti-aircraft artillery guns.....
"This is the maximum transparency you can imagine that a country can have," said Iran's ambassador to the UN nuclear watchdog Ali Asghar Soltanieh before taking journalists and visiting envoys on a tour of the site.
