Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Former President of Iran

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (front row C) sits with commanders from the Basij Militia in Tehran on May 7, 2006. Iran said on Sunday any measures taken against its nuclear program by the U.N. Security Council would push Tehran towards confrontation with the West rather than cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog. Iran has been referred to the world body after failing to convince the international community that its nuclear power program is not a smokescreen for building weapons.

Smokescreen created over Yawata mill before A-bombing of Nagasaki

Satoru Miyashiro, a former worker at the Yawata Steel Works in Fukuoka Prefecture, gives an interview at his home in Oita, southwestern Japan, in February 2015. He said he was one of the workers who burned coal tar to create a smokescreen at the steel works to avoid air raids on Aug. 9, 1945, during World War II. The B-29 Bockscar was diverted from its first target, Kokura, due to low visibility and the atomic bomb was dropped on the secondary target, Nagasaki, the same day, though the role of the intentional smokescreen in averting the attack remains unclear as the visibility of the area was obscured partly by smoke from a conventional air raid the previous day.
