International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) in London in its latest world military assessment concluded that Iran is self-sufficient in producing centrifuges, the heart of the uranium enrichment fuel cycle.
Iran so far has been accused of obtaining the centrifuges from A. Q. Khan black market network but the reality of producing over 3000 centrifuges forced the Think Tank close to American circles admits that Tehran is capable of producing them domestically.
However, IISS, in its latest annual report entitled "The Military Balance 2007"wrote: "It obtained at least 500 disassembled centrifuges from Pakistan through the A.Q. Khan black market network plus the blueprints to produce its own."
IISS estimated that, "Iran is probably on track to meet its goal of producing 3,000 centrifuges by the end of March or shortly thereafter."
