This article is pretty straightforward it lays out a time line of important events from January 2002 - November 2013. I found it helpful to use as a quick reference for events and a good play by play of what went/is going on. The article does not go into any great detail about any of the events most points are a sentence or two i.e “US President George W Bush describes Iraq, Iran and North Korea as an "axis of evil", warning of the proliferation of long-range missiles being developed in these countries. The speech causes outrage in Iran and is condemned by reformists and conservatives alike.” However, it is a good starting point for a refresher course in Iranian nuclear development history. I found it funny how much I forgot or did not know about what was going on with this topic during the Bush presidency.
