Analyst's note: We can only hope that the setbacks in Iran regarding their nuclear ambitions is real. Some are even suggesting that the need to bomb their facilities is not longer on the immediate horizon. Perhaps we are seeing yet another use of our internationally connected, super-sized Intelligence Agencies. If so such sabotage is better than a blockade.
Iran has suffered a series of technical setbacks to its nuclear programme in the past 12 months, triggering suggestions that western intelligence agencies are sabotaging its likely ambition to build an atomic weapon.
[....] However, some security analysts are confident that an international sabotage operation is having an effect. “The central question in international diplomacy is whether Iran will acquire the bomb or whether Iran will be bombed,” says the academic. “This is not a question that western leaders are having to worry about in the coming weeks and months. This may well be because of the effectiveness of concerted intelligence operations.”
