On Wednesday 7 October 2009 Mark Fitzpatrick, Senior Fellow for Non-proliferation, spoke on “Assessing Iranian Nuclear Developments”.
Developments concerning the Iranian nuclear issue have been moving at a fast pace. Revelation of the second enrichment facility at Qom, intelligence agency and internal IAEA assessments about Iranian work on weapons development, and the outcome of last Thursday’s meeting in Geneva create a new and often conflicting picture of Iran’s capabilities and intentions and prospects for a diplomatic solution. Mark Fitzpatrick, Director of the IISS Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme, led a discussion meeting to help IISS members understand what it all means.
