1. in a nutshell: why is this @wikileaks cable on #Fakhrizadeh is important? wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/0… Because it reveals that the media characterisation of #Fakhrizadeh as "the father of #Iran's nuclear weapons programme" is NOT substantiated
2. if you characterise a nuclear scientist as "the father of X's country nuclear weapons programme", you mean someone like #AQKhan, the father of the #Pakistani #nuclearWeapons. However the #WikiLeaks cable provides insight he was not
3. according to #OlliHeinonen, "there were others in the Iranian nuclear establishment equally or more important than #Fakhrizadeh". This means #Fakhrizadeh was not the #Iran's #AQAKhan
4. why is #OlliHeinonen's comment on #Fakhrizadeh relevant?
a)it goes back to 2008:just 5years after #Iran stopped its military program(according to #NIE)
b)#Heinonen was the head of @iaeaorg's Dept conducting inspections
c)#Heinonen was pro-US:he would NOT minimise #Fakhrizadeh
