(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - Olli Heinonen, a former deputy director-general for safeguards at the International Atomic Energy Agency, urged the agency Thursday to demand the right to visit, inspect and possibly destroy the remaining parts of Iran's secret nuclear archive, which Israel had revealed last year. Heinonen said only one-fifth of the archive was smuggled to Israel. "There is another 80% that stayed behind," he told the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. Heinonen said that Iran's nuclear weapons program had "proceeded substantially further than what was stated by Iran and concluded by the IAEA." "There was a cohesive plan to manufacture nuclear weapons, and when and after the plan was halted, the IAEA was not provided, as was stated by Iran, with a full disclosure of the past nuclear program."
