It was true. About two years ago there were vague suggestions in the Hebrew press that Ahmedenijad was a critical existential threat to Israel because of his membership in an esoteric sect of the Shia Islam - those actively working towards the return of the Hidden Imam with thunderous eschatological consequences. This return will occur shortly before the Final Judgement and the end of history. Imam Mahdi will return at the head of the forces of righteousness and do battle with the forces of evil in one, final, apocalyptic battle. When evil has been defeated once and for all, the Imam Mahdi will rule the world for several years under a perfect government and bring about a perfect spirituality among the peoples of the world.
Now it appears that those incredible speculations were absolutely true, and Iran's nuclear weapons program was (is?) in the hands of raging lunatics.
The Guardian writes that Khameney, head of the Supreme Religious Council of Iran, is accusing the President Ahmedenijad of using supernatural powers to further his policies. "Several people close to the president have been arrested in recent days and charged with being "magicians" and invoking djinns (spirits)." Ayandeh, an Iranian news website, described one of the arrested men, Abbas Ghaffari, as "a man with special skills in metaphysics and connections with the unknown worlds".
Since religious fanatics reproduce more than balanced agnostics, I foresee that future wars will continue to be fought about the enigma of God's Trinity or whatever.

What a world full of lunatics with secret beliefs.
Public lunatics equally dangerous.
Yes, this world is full of lunatics with secret beliefs. You think people is motivated by material interests and calculations, when in fact they live in an irrational universe of djinns and magic.
May the ArchAngel Michael help us...!
Abbas Ghaffari, as "a man with special skills in metaphysics and connections with the unknown worlds".
A nuclear physicist?
No, Metaphysics is an order of magnitude above mere physics. In Argentina they invented even a higher science, the science of pataphysics, and there was an academy of pataphysics.
'Pataphysics (French: 'pataphysique) is a philosophy dedicated to studying what lies beyond the realm of metaphysics. The term was coined and the concept created by French writer Alfred Jarry (1873–1907), - not in Argentina as I thought - who defined 'pataphysics as "the science of imaginary solutions, which symbolically attributes the properties of objects, described by their virtuality, to their lineaments."
Was it in Patagonia?
Anon.
Sure. People come from afar to be treated the famous pataphysicians of Patagonia. They excel in curing imaginary diseases with symbolic remedies.
