IAEA PLANS ANOTHER REPORT ON IRAN’S NUKES
2003-11-30
From Middle East News Line
LONDON [MENL] -- The International Atomic Energy Agency plans to issue another report on Iran’s 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 IAEA’s algorithm for separating real McCoy from Decoy, given the way they must gather information in Iran?
Another issue in the forthcoming report would be Iran’s links with unauthorized nuclear suppliers, including the source for Teheran’s 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 Iran’s 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.

#2  IAEA sources said the purpose of the report is meant to determine whether Iran intends to assemble nuclear weapons.

Mohammed El-Baradei: "Imam Khamenei, are you going to assemble nuclear weapons?"

Ali Khamenei: "No."

Mohammed El-Baradei: "Good. I shall put this in my report."

#1  Iran will have that bomb. May it be an albatross round their necks. But the IAEA should do the report. Should be interesting reading, no.
