Iran site buildings "completely razed"- U.S. think-tank

Source: Reuters

(Reuters) - A U.S. security institute has published satellite images which it said increased concerns that Iran was trying to "destroy evidence" of suspected past research relevant for developing a nuclear weapons capability, a charge Tehran dismisses.

The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) posted them on its website hours after diplomats said the U.N. atomic watchdog showed what appeared to be similar imagery at a closed-door briefing in Vienna.

Western envoys who attended Wednesday's briefing earlier told Reuters that two small side buildings at the Parchin military facility had been removed, and ISIS said its pictures from May 25 showed that they "have been completely razed".

The disclosure followed inconclusive talks between Iran and six world powers in Baghdad last week to address concerns about the nature of its nuclear activities, which Iran says are aimed at generating electricity.

If the buildings had stayed up, "Iran is developing a-bombs!"

If the buildings go down, "Iran is hiding evidence they were building a-bombs!"

Someone simply wants another American war in which neither they, nor their kids, will participate in, other than watching the damage being done on TV.

I am SOOOOOOOO sick of this shit.

If somebody posted this kind of crap on DU, it would be off to the Conspiracy Theory dungeon with him.

Proving once again that nobody said the government had to be rational.
