Dozens of Iranian scientists working on nuclear bomb: Report Agence France-Presse Berlin, September 6 Up to 90 scientists are working secretly on the construction of a nuclear bomb in Iran under the supervision of the ministry of defence, the weekly Tagesspiegel am Sonntag said in its Sunday edition.
Quoting intelligence sources, it said that Iran had bought high-tension switches and high-speed cameras to conduct nuclear tests.
Although Iran has insisted that all its it nuclear facilities are for civil purposes and has offered to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has consistently refused to accept surprise inspections of its plants.
The IAEA was scheduled to meet on the issue on Monday, when sources in Vienna said that Iran would come under renewed pressure to lift the secrecy around its nuclear programme.
