Iranian Nuclear Enrichment Slowdown

Either our intelligence is poor, which is a definite possibility, or Iran is pulling a fast one, because their nuclear program has reportedly "stalled." Could it be from a lack of funds? Civil unrest? Or worse?

Here's a piece from the AP story:

Outside monitoring of Iran's nuclear endeavors is restricted to International Atomic Energy Agency inspections of declared sites leaving significant blind spots for both the agency and intelligence agencies of member countries trying to come up with the full picture.

Still, Tehran's reluctance to crank up activities at its declared enrichment site at Natanz when it seems to have the technical know-how is puzzling the diplomatic and intelligence communities - with some saying it was potentially worrisome.

Diplomats accredited or otherwise linked to the Vienna-based IAEA, speaking on condition of anonymity in exchange for discussing restricted information on the Iranian program, said some intelligence services believed that the Natanz site was a front.

If the desire is nukes, why waste time and energy acting like they're working on nuclear energy at Natanz? Maybe they finally realized they're fooling nobody, so the facade gets terminated. Iran may have cut its losses.
