Iranians Hand Over Basic Nuclear Warhead Designs

"Security Council Permanent Members call for Iran's referral, but with built-in delay
By Steve Schippert
Iran turned over a document detailing how to cast uranium into hemispheric forms and combine them to make the spherical core of a nuclear warhead. The IAEA reported in November 2005 that such a document was in Iranian possession. While this was transpiring, Ali Larijani told the press that if Iran is referred to the UN Security Council, Iran will have to “stop [start] all nuclear work that has been voluntarily suspended and stop implementation of the Additional Protocol.” Larijani presented this as an unfortunate consequence that Iran is powerless to control, as if to say, “What’s a country to do? After all, we have to follow the law.” Perhaps this was one of the minor aims of the law passed by the Iranian mejlis."
