UN: Iran Not Cooperating on Nuclear Weapons Probe
(AP-Washington Post) Edith M. Lederer - UN nuclear chief Yukio Amano told the UN General Assembly on Monday that Iran is not cooperating with an investigation into suspected secret work on nuclear weapons. Talks between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran have intensified this year after an IAEA report in November 2011 said it had "credible information that Iran had carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device." "However, no concrete results have been achieved so far," Amano said. "Iran is not providing the necessary cooperation to enable us to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities," Amano said. "Therefore, we cannot conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities."
