Reuters asked the [Foreign Ministry] spokesman about the authenticity of a news story in Germany`s Der Spiegel magazine that Iran has been building a secret tunnel under its nuclear installations in Isfahan.
His answer: "Lots of tunnels are being built across the
country nowadays by the Ministry of Roads and Transportation."
He referred to the magazine`s story as quite baseless and
meaningless and said no tunnel of such enormity could ever be built secretly under the watchful eyes of radars.
