Iran Tries to Reframe the Nuclear Issue
(National Interest) Emily B. Landau - For all the talk of getting to a deal in a matter of months, Iran has shown no indication that it intends to change course in the nuclear realm. Rouhani has rejected any suspension of uranium enrichment, and the August IAEA report on Iran has shown that it is moving forward toward its goal of a military nuclear capability. Moreover, in a Sept. 12, 2013, letter to the IAEA, Iran reiterated that the evidence of suspected military activity in the nuclear realm contained in the IAEA Director-General's periodic reports is fabricated and false.
