Clamping Down on Iran's Nuclear Ambitions
(Washington Post) Editorial - The latest report about Iran by the International Atomic Energy Agency contains a lot of bad news: Iran has already produced its first batch of more highly enriched uranium, and it did so without waiting for IAEA inspectors to arrive; it has produced 4,550 pounds of low-enriched uranium - almost enough, if further processed, for two atomic bombs; and it has begun work on manufacturing uranium in metallic form, another key step in bomb production. As the IAEA report makes clear, neither existing sanctions, nor technical problems, nor the Obama administration's offers of engagement have stopped Iran's drive for a weapon.
