IAEA: Maybe Iran Is Developing Nukes and Maybe They're Not
The Chief of the UN's nuclear watchdog is still not sure whether Iran is really trying to build nuclear weapons:
The International Atomic Energy Agency has found no "smoking gun" in Iran that would indicate a nuclear weapons program, Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, the director-general of the IAEA, told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. At the same time, however, he acknowledged that, until three years ago, Teheran maintained an undeclared nuclear program for 18 years, which the IAEA failed to detect.
Or as Ha'aretz (which recently published an absurd editorial claiming that Israel shouldn't defend itself against Iran), headlines this story as "UN nuclear watchdog shows greater understanding of Israel's concerns"
Not to be overly pedantic about this, but technically the gun doesn't start smoking until after it's been fired - by which point it will be too late. But in the sprit of cooperation and public service, we have a hint for Dr. ElBaradei: Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons.
