Mixing up payloads and delivery means is a propaganda ploy. The absurdity of doing so becomes clear with a few find & replace clicks.

William Hague on bikes and nuclear stuff:

LONDON (AP) — Iran has conducted covert tests of electric bicycles in addition to a 10-day program of public bike trials, Britain alleged on Wednesday.

Foreign Secretary William Hague told the House of Commons that there had been secret experiments with bicycles that would be able to deliver a nuclear weapon, but did not specify precisely when the tests had taken place.

Iran has "been carrying out covert electric bicycles tests and new model launches, including testing bicycles capable of delivering a nuclear payload," Hague said.

Britain believes Tehran has conducted at least three secret tests of medium-range electric bicycles since October, amid an apparent escalation of its nuclear program and scrutiny from the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran is currently displaying its bicycle hardware in a series of trial races in an apparent show of openness, and on Tuesday launched 14 bicycles in public tests.

However, the U.K. believes that the covert bicycle tests show Iran's leaders are seeking to avoid scrutiny over the real extent of their mobility programs.

"On the back of the recent IAEA report and the unanswered questions about its nuclear program, they only serve to undermine further Iran's claims that its nuclear program is entirely for civilian use," said a Foreign Office spokesman, on customary condition of anonymity in line with policy.

An IAEA report last month listed "high-voltage firing and instrumentation for explosives testing over long distances and possibly underground" as one of seven "areas of concern" that Iran may be conducting clandestine nuclear weapons work.

Hague also said Britain was concerned over Tehran's decision to increase its capacity to enrich uranium to a higher level at the Fordo site near the holy city of Qom in central Iran.

"It has announced that it intends to triple its capacity to produce 20 percent enriched uranium. These are enrichment levels far greater that is needed for peaceful nuclear energy," Hague said.

So what have electric bicycles to do with atomic bombs? Nothing apparently. But a bike could of course be used to deliver a nuclear weapon, especially an electric bicycle with a long range. That is why one has to watch carefully for secret electric bicycle trials.

Hague by the way isn't well informed on nuclear issues. He claims that 20% enriched uranium has no peaceful use. There are at least 39 research reactors around the world which need  this kind of fuel. All are for peaceful purposes and most of them, like the one in Iran which is running out of fuel, are under IAEA control.
