Israel Calls on IAEA to Continue Iran Investigation
(Times of Israel) Rebecca Shimoni Stoil - In response to the International Atomic Energy Agency's Tuesday decision to close the file on possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program, the Israel Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem said "serious doubts and outstanding issues" remained. "The IAEA report clearly indicates once again that Iran has conducted a coordinated effort to develop a nuclear explosive device, including activities taking place after 2003. For over a decade, Iran has been non-cooperative and deceptive." Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said, "The IAEA decision does not correspond to the report by IAEA chief Yukiya Amano, who said Tehran continued partial development of a bomb until 2009. It seems, therefore, that the decision made today was political and not practical, and for this reason it sends a wrong message to the Iranians, that the international community is willing to look the other way."
