The Iranian spy chief recently spirited out of Tehran in a Cold War-style operation by Britain has revealed Iran obtained uranium from Congo, where export controls on fissionable materials are non-existent.

General Ali Reza Askari told Britain's MI6 debriefing team the nuclear material was flown out of the country from a military airfield near Kisangen, north to Sudan.
Its ultimate destination was Iran's main nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz, where most of the country's enrichment process is taking place to produce weapons-grade uranium
Askari also provided up-to-date information on countries with uranium deposits targeted by Tehran. Along with Congo, which currently has 8 percent of the world's deposits, Iran's agents have approached Somalia, Namibia and Kazakhstan.
Iran's own domestic sources of uranium total around 40,000 tons, Askari said, far in excess of what Western intelligence sources have calculated and more than enough to create a nuclear weapons arsenal.
The revelations raise new concerns to the West that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's warning that "the world must accept the new reality of our nuclear program" was not an idle boast.
Presently, the West's relationship with Iran is deadlocked. The U.S. refuses to talk to Tehran unless it stops enriching uranium and accepts the relevant U.N. resolutions. Iran refuses to negotiate with the U.S. unless Washington will allow enrichment to continue.
