Iran Hid Nuclear Plans for Nearly 2 Decades

It was in the summer of 2001 when a top secret message was delivered to Farid Solemani

�We received news from a very valuable source within the Iranian regime,� said Solemani, who worked for more than a decade to expose Iran's nuclear program.

That message, if true, was explosive in more ways than one.

It was either "the biggest breakthrough that we have had in terms of opening up the secret of the Iranian nuclear program � or it's a hoax,� said Solemani, who runs the Paris-based National Council of Resistance in Iran (NCRI) (search).

It wasn't a hoax.
