IAEA PLANS ANOTHER REPORT ON IRANâS NUKES
From Middle East News Line
LONDON [MENL] -- The International Atomic Energy Agency plans to issue another report on Iranâs nuclear program.
Another report! O Joy Unbounded! We can hardly wait!
IAEA sources said the purpose of the report is meant to determine whether Iran intends to assemble nuclear weapons. In its November report, the agency said it could not make such a determination.
And what, I ask, will be IAEAâs algorithm for separating real McCoy from Decoy, given the way they must gather information in Iran?
Another issue in the forthcoming report would be Iranâs links with unauthorized nuclear suppliers, including the source for Teheranâs uranium enrichment program. The sources said the agency suspects that Pakistan has been a leading supplier of uranium to Iran.
Pakistan is becoming a real pain in the ass in the WoT. We are allied with a schitzophrentic.
IAEA director-general Mohamed El Baradei said the new report on Iran would be ready by February when the board of governors convenes. El Baradei said the agency would attempt to conclude whether Iranâs nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes. Good luck, fellas! In the meantime, it will be prudent to keep proceeding with US and Israeli plans for dealing with the nukes. The clock is ticking down to less than a year at the longest for action.
