Of course the toothless UN organization IAEA has this to say:
The U.N. nuclear watchdog chief said on Monday talk of last-ditch war on Iran to disable its nuclear program was premature "hype" and suggested moves to harden sanctions on Tehran may be counterproductive.
We're actually TRYING that route, but Russia and China are dragging their feet and are looking only at the economic interruption rather than the nuclear weapons threat.
Western powers led by the United States and France have been fuming over ElBaradei's new deal with Iran requiring it to answer questions about past secret nuclear research but without touching its accelerating campaign to enrich atomic fuel.
They fear Iran has tricked the IAEA, pretending to cooperate to avoid painful sanctions and buy time to master enrichment.
Yep, that's what we're thinking.
Speaking on the sidelines of the IAEA'S 149-nation annual assembly, he repeated that IAEA sleuths had found no evidence of "weaponization" from Iranian enrichment work, although Iran was still preventing wider inspections aimed at ruling this out.
It's really not that hard Iran. Just open up the doors on your nuclear facilities...ALL of your facilities, and it'll make everyone feel better.
Tehran wants to come clean on its program and use nuclear energy under IAEA monitoring but hostility from Washington and a few allies make that difficult, its atomic energy chief said.
Bullshit. They could easily come out to the IAEA and say, "look, here's everything" and completely ignore the US, but they don't do that. They try the line of "it makes it difficult". Maybe I'm an idiot, but explain to me HOW it makes it difficult for Iran to open up to the IAEA?
"The Iranian nation is determined to continue its (nuclear) path until the highest point of advancement," Reza Aghazadeh said. "(We) have no fear of the costs we may have to bear to achieve this."
And the "highest point of advancement" is? Weapons? I'm willing to bet that's what it is.
