IAEA Assessment Plan Presents New Hurdle in Iran Nuclear Talks
(Los Angeles Times) Paul Richter - In its latest quarterly report released Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear watchdog, said it would conduct a comprehensive "system assessment" of all evidence on the sensitive issue of whether Iran has sought to gain nuclear weapons capability. However, the assessment is unlikely to be completed before the July 20 deadline for talks on an agreement between Iran and the West. U.S. officials say they won't agree to a deal unless Iran answers the IAEA's questions about its nuclear activities, including any military dimension.
