Iran secretly enriching enough uranium for nine nuclear weapons, IAEA says. https://www.yahoo.com/news/iaea-exposes-secret-iranian-nuclear-110914561.html "Despite countless warnings by the international community, Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program," the PMO said. Iran carried out secret nuclear activities with material not declared to the UN nuclear watchdog at three locations that have long been under investigation, the watchdog said in a wide-ranging, confidential report to member states seen by Reuters. The findings in the "comprehensive" International Atomic Energy Agency report requested by the agency's 35-nation Board of Governors in November pave the way for a push by the United States, Britain, France, and Germany for the board to declare Iran in violation of its non-proliferation obligations.
Recent history shows that the current Iranian regime has consistently prioritized its nuclear ambitions regardless of diplomatic agreements. One can't ignore that even when negotiations are ongoing, Iran continues to expand its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and restricts access for international inspectors, raising serious doubts about its intentions and compliance. The reality is that, with or without a deal, Iran's leadership has shown a willingness to push the boundaries of international agreements in pursuit of its goals. I remain skeptical that any agreement alone will prevent Iran from advancing its nuclear program.
