Atom Fuel Plan IISS LogoMark Fitzpatrick, senior non-proliferation fellow at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies, described it as a "politically treacherous" issue for Iran.

"So many of the challenges we know that they are going to have to face in the future are present ... whether it is questions over command-and-control issues and intel-ligence gathering to how it will handle domestic pressure demanding the use of force.
