Confidential intelligence documents obtained by The Times show that Iran is working on testing a key final component of a nuclear bomb.

The notes, from Iran’s most sensitive military nuclear project, describe a four-year plan to test a neutron initiator, the component of a nuclear bomb that triggers an explosion. Foreign intelligence agencies date them to early 2007, four years after Iran was thought to have suspended its weapons programme.

There are no surprises and no "indications" and no "concerns". Everyone with two brain cells and a few worms with only one, knows that Iran is and always has been building nuclear weapons, and intends to proliferate them to terrorist proxies to destroy Israel, and eventually the west as well.
