U.S. Promises Israel It Will Press International Atomic Energy Agency on Iran Atomic Archive
(Axios) Barak Ravid - The Trump administration has promised Israel it will put pressure on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to examine revelations from the Iranian nuclear archives captured by Israeli intelligence in Tehran, State Department officials told me. The archives showed Iran was working until 2003 on building at least five nuclear warheads. Two weeks ago, U.S. special envoy for Iran Brian Hook visited Israel and was told that Israel was angry the IAEA didn't take the Israeli intelligence seriously. Hook said the new U.S. ambassador to the IAEA, Jackie Wolcott, will "work aggressively to make sure the IAEA seriously addresses all information provided by Israel, the U.S. and other countries regarding the Iranian nuclear program."
