Mr. Ottolenghi’s list goes on to include Swedish Boghammar’s sale of speed boats to Iran in the 1980s for commercial purposes, which Mr. Ottolenghi writes wound up being modified and used by Tehran as fighting vessels; Italy’s FB Design sold at least one of its boats to Tehran, which may have been replicated for use in the 2007 capture of British sailors, the book says, citing European press reports. Then there are the practices of German drilling equipment firm Wirth, which worked on the construction of Iran’s Ghomroud water tunnel. Mr. Ottolenghi reports that Wirth listed the Iranian company responsible for phase five of the Ghomroud project as Sahel Consulting Engineers. The U.S.‘s Dept. of Treasury lists “Sahel Consultant Engineering” as a front company for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, a Washington-designated terror-supporting outfit. Mr. Ottolenghi writes that Wirth did not return requests for further details on its commercial partners in Iran. It takes no great stretch of imagination to realize that Wirth’s heavy earth-moving equipment could be used to build nuclear bunkers and underground facilities.
