Meanwhile in Iran, more weapons-grade nuke fuel

The IAEA just released its latest report on suspected nuclear activity in Iran this week. To the surprise of virtually nobody who has been paying attention, the director of the agency “regrets that there has been no progress” in monitoring the country’s nuclear programs. Iran previously removed or disabled all of the IAEA monitoring cameras at its nuclear facilities and after a small bit of initial progress in the first quarter, no more have been restored to operation. The agency was able to confirm that Iran is now enriching uranium up to at least 60% purity and they are very close to the levels required to build nuclear weapons. Other analysts believe they’ve already breached that threshold but they simply haven’t admitted it yet. So if nothing is done, there may be a new member of the nuclear club in the very near future and this is making Israel very nervous. (Reuters)Read More
