That would be technology they're entirely entitled to under the NPT, remember? And it's not important. If Iran wants to build nukes nothing we can do will stop them. Nothing short of a massive invasion can do that, and I don't see anyone with the required forces. Only persuasion can stop them making bombs.

You can bomb their entire infrastructure. Israel just did a test run of the concept.

Well, yes, the infrastructure is destroyed, the economy ruined and that power plant is still leaking fuel oil.
