Andreas Persbo posted on a subject I was thinking of blogging about: Ahmadinejad’s recently-reported claim that Iran has 3,000 centrifuges.

Andreas seems to conclude what I was thinking: the assertion could be technically sorta true if you massage the numbers a bit.

He says:

According to an article by Mark Heinrich, Agency inspectors visited the Natanz facility on 3 September 2007 and found two more modules “being hooked up”, which would bring the total number of centrifuges operating with hexafluoride gas, under vacuum, or being in various stages of construction to 2,952.
