In 1992, Moghimi and Azim met again in Iran, and Moghimi asked his friend, point blank, whether Iran was developing a nuclear weapon.
"He said, 'No way. They are only nuclear power plants.' He said, 'If the Iranian government wanted to do that, it would be suicide,' " Moghimi recalled. "I believed him."
Now Moghimi is not so sure, as Iran insists on trying to enrich uranium -- which could be used as fuel for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
The last time the two men spoke was about three years ago. Although his friend didn't say it, Moghimi got the impression that Azim was restless. He asked Moghimi for a letter of invitation so he could visit the United States.
Moghimi sent one, but has not heard from Azim since
