Iran funded Syria's "nuclear reactor"? Not so fast.

So Moon of Alabama and Arms Control Wonk both take apart the claim promoted by the Associated Press that Iran funded the alleged "nuclear reactor" bombed by Israel.

Incidentally, if Israel had any actual proof that the site contained undeclared nuclear material or activities that should have been known to the IAEA, all they had to do was arrange for the US to present the evidence to the IAEA Board of Governors, and then the IAEA could require a "special inspection" to be performed at the site, verifiying objectively whether it was in fact a nuclear reactor site or not. But Israel chose to go the dramatic route for the sake of PR.
