The man who for two years led Iran's nuclear negotiations [Hassan Rowhani]
has laid out
in unprecedented detail how the regime took advantage of talks with
Britain, France and Germany to forge ahead with its secret atomic programme.

....

He boasted that while talks were taking place in Teheran, Iran was able
to complete the installation of equipment for conversion of yellowcake -
a key stage in the nuclear fuel process - at its Isfahan plant but at
the same time convince European diplomats that nothing was afoot.

"From the outset, the Americans kept telling the Europeans, 'The
Iranians are lying and deceiving you and they have not told you
everything.' The Europeans used to respond, 'We trust them'," he said.

The Europeans said that? Tsk, tsk.


Revelation of Mr Rowhani's remarks comes at an awkward moment for the
Iranian government, ahead of a meeting tomorrow of the United Nations'
atomic watchdog, which must make a fresh assessment of Iran's banned
nuclear operations.

And a very convenient moment for whoever paid for the story, eh? You
may have been taken in again by the ol' propaganda mills.

....


In his address to the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution, Mr Rowhani
appears to have been seeking to rebut criticism from hardliners that he
gave too much ground in talks with the European troika. ...
