IAEA: Iran Nuclear Program Has ‘Possible Military Dimensions’

The International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.), an independent organization of weapons inspectors that reports to United Nations, has been preparing a summary of its findings over the past few years which asserts Iran’s nuclear program has “possible military dimensions.” Despite the continuing non-cooperation of Iran’s government during inspections, the I.A.E.A.’s report includes evidence of devices used to trigger nuclear weapons and structures that could be used for testing such weapons. Russia and China are currently pressing the I.A.E.A.’s director, Yukia Amano, not to make the details of their findings public. Amano briefed members of the National Security Council 11 days ago, but the Obama administration has refused to comment at this time. David Sanger, chief Washington correspondent for  The New York Times  reports on the latest. Sanger appears every Monday on WQXR’s  The Washington Report.
