A new United Nations nuclear watchdog report
on Iran’s nuclear program reveals Tehran is moving ahead with illicit
uranium enrichment work, undermining Obama administration claims that
sanctions will slow the program.
Iran continues to build up stockpiles of enriched uranium and has failed to explain what the report described as possible “ongoing” nuclear warhead and explosives work, according to the internal report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
“Despite the intensified dialogue between the agency and Iran since January 2012, no concrete results have been achieved in resolving the outstanding issues,” the report states.
Iran’s failure to cooperate with international inspections led the IAEA to conclude, “The agency is unable to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, and therefore to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.”
The Aug. 30 IAEA report states that during the past six months, Iran produced an additional 679 kilograms of low-enriched uranium and about 44 kilograms more of 20 percent-enriched uranium—material experts say could be used to produce a crude nuclear bomb, or enriched to high levels for missile warheads.
