Remember Iraq's WMD threat.
What CONVINCED our Intelligence experts that Saddam had WMD's was that he was acting like he did. They were moving trucks around in a suspicious manner, deceiving inspectors, and so on.
They COULD NOT BELIEVE that he would pretend to have WMD's and not actually have them, but that's exactly what he was doing. He wanted everyone to believe that he had them because he thought that made him stronger vis a vis Iran and the Americans.
So maybe the same thing his going on here. The Iranians are claiming to have hundreds of kilo's of highly enriched uranium because they think that gives them advantages in negotiating the end of this "war."
And it does.
But maybe it's all bullshit.
