#1 The report credited Iran for a change of heart since September, when the agency demanded it explain contradictions and ambiguities in its nuclear activities.

Holy Shit - I give up.

Traces of weapons-grade uranium have been found on enrichment centrifuges at two Iranian facilities, but Iranian officials say the imported equipment was contaminated abroad before Iran received it.

Nope - wasn't us. We found it that way.

Putin said "we are pleased to note that Iran has itself resolved to limit itself" on uranium enrichment, and he suggested it cleared the way for further Russian-Iranian nuclear cooperation.

No doubt.

Anybody besides me get this sinking feeling that the Russians are more dangerous than they used to be...

#3 While finding "no evidence" that Tehran tried to make atomic arms, it said such efforts cannot be ruled out.

Yes, of course. That plutonium was processed for strictly PEACEFUL purposes. For use in children's toys and medicine for the aged. Sure.
