Is Iran capable of making it's own centrifuges? Is Iran capable of the fine tolerance machining to make the bomb? Some of which involves machining radioactive materials?

The Islamos finally grew a few brain cells and read "Sum of all Fears". Hey Abdul, this book is a how to manual!

Iran's Nuclear Program Speeds Ahead

It is not known precisely where Iran obtained the blueprints and the many specialized materials used to make centrifuges. Although some U.S. officials suspect Pakistan provided designs for the centrifuges in the early 1990s, the machines on display at Natanz had been significantly modified by Iranian engineers and could not be easily traced to a single country or supplier, according to U.S. and independent nuclear experts. Iran apparently acquired centrifuge motors and other parts from abroad, and it recruited foreign scientists to help master complex engineering feats, the experts said.
