IAEA report on past Iranian nuke research may hamstring deal
The issue of past military dimensions of Iran’s nuclear program continues to hover over negotiations, but there could be a way for Iran to finesse those concerns.
As nuclear negotiations enter a decisive phase, Iran is making halting progress addressing what is likely to be a key element of a long-term agreement: resolving international concerns about past research that would be necessary to develop the most common form of nuclear weapon.
According to the latest report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has offered a possible if unlikely explanation for one of its past activities and continues to stonewall on two others.
