Iran nukes chief says enrichment to continue, leaked diagram shows mega-bomb

(JTA) -- The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said his country would continue to enrich uranium "with intensity."

Wednesday's remarks by Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani came a day after the release of a diagram showing Iran was working on a mega-nuclear weapon.

The diagram, which was published by The Associated Press, shows that Iranian scientists ran computer simulations for a nuclear weapon that would be more than three times as powerful as the bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima during World War II.

According to AP, the diagram was leaked to the news agency by another country "critical of Iran's atomic program to bolster their arguments that Iran's nuclear program must be halted before it produces a weapon."

I've never seen a diagram attack anybody.
IAEA says that Iran does not have weapons-grade uranium and Iran says that they won't produce any.
What's the problem?

That's where they take a pile of their 3-week old unwashed sandlewood and frumunda cheese scented underwear and compress it into a tight space, to the point where a small detonation is all that is required to begin the fusion process.
