As the IAEA deputy director general soberly points out, the simulated explosion, at an altitude of 600 meters (1,970 feet), would make no sense for the use of conventional, chemical or biological weapons. It shows the computer-supported simulation of an explosion of a missile warhead. Heinonen has kept the best for the end: a three-minute film from Tehran that was probably intended for the country's senior political leaders and is as professionally produced as a trailer for a Hollywood movie. The IAEA experts have translated a literary motif on the first page of the document that reads: "Fate does not change people as long as people do not change fate." "Project 111" illustrates attempts to build a warhead for Iran's Shahab-3 missile. "Project 110" depicts the testing of highly explosive nuclear materials. "Project 5" describes Iran's uranium mining program and how it processes the material into uranium hexafluoride, an intermediate product in the process of producing nuclear fuel. The story they tell is diametrically opposed to the official Tehran version, which holds that Iran is using fissile material for peaceful purposes only and that there is no military nuclear program. For the next two hours, Heinonen projects images, diagrams and copies of manuscripts onto the wall. The room is dark as the projector hums in the background. His research has led him to conclude that he has been given a treasure trove of facts, images and names - all of it "with a 90-percent likelihood of being authentic." Nevertheless, he has received critical information through indirect sources, including recordings made by a leading Iranian nuclear scientist.Īlways wary of attempts to manipulate him, Heinonen has spent a lot of time comparing the exclusive information with his own records and checking it against other reports. Heinonen knows that there are many things happening in Iran that he doesn't know about.
