Default pressure on Iran to explain secret nuclear weapons

Seems others are starting to worry. And want answers they will never receive.

UN nuclear agency report puts Iran on defensive By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press Writer

UN nuclear agency report puts Iran on defensive - Yahoo! News


VIENNA, Austria - Growing pressure on Iran to explain what could be secret nuclear weapons work has left Tehran increasingly defensive — and the U.S. and its allies hopeful they can exploit the situation to wrest concessions from Tehran. But it may be too late for that.

Even as it resists a strong push by the International Atomic Energy Agency for answers to allegations it tried to make nuclear arms, Iran continues to refuse to compromise on the key demand that it stop uranium enrichment.

For years, the Islamic Republic shrugged off offers of economic and political rewards in exchange for an enrichment freeze. It has thumbed its nose both at U.N. Security Council demands that it do so, and at veiled U.S. threats of a military action. Instead, it exploited international indecision and expanded and improved its enrichment capability.

An agency report Monday to the U.N. Security Council and the IAEA board suggested that Tehran was stonewalling investigators and possibly withholding information crucial to the U.N. nuclear monitor's probe of allegations it did nuclear arms research.

Surprised the IAEA didn't just cower and cover for Iran like they've been doing the last 5 years...

Guess more like reality has set in. That or data which can't be covered up is in the hands of some. But as you pointed out 5 years is a long enough time for them to complete a lot.
