The confidential documents are related to a meeting held in April 2009 hosted by Simon Smith, Great Britain’s ambassador in Austria.

One of American representatives whom was present at this meeting stated: “As function of Iranian centrifuges show Iran has the technical ability to achieve high quality uranium and can achieve this if they want it to.”

Published documentation also stated participants of the April 2009 meeting had agreed Iran is in need of 1.5 tons of low enriched uranium to build a basic bomb.

British officials present in the meeting have predicted, by 2014 Iran will have produced 20 tons of low enriched uranium, and in the event of extended production, which is enough to build 19 nuclear warheads.
