Western governments have long been convinced that Iran is pursuing military objectives with its secretive nuclear programme. But until this week the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), jealous of its credibility as a non-political, science-led body, said it had no unambiguous proof of Iran's intention to build a bomb. A report it published on November 8th still falls just short of that proof, but nonetheless marks a watershed. A 12-page annexe offers a convincing narrative of Iran's progress towards becoming a nuclear-weapons power. The report goes on to state that Iran went beyond theoretical studies and built a large containment vessel at its Parchin military base, starting in 2000, to test the feasibility of such explosive compression. It calls such tests "strong indicators of possible weapon development." Over the past fortnight, a number of articles have appeared in Israeli newspapers claiming that the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and the defence minister, Ehud Barak, have dusted off long-standing plans for a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
