ElBaradei finds himself at a dead end with Iran; acts surprised after years of holding out
“VIENNA (AP) - The International Atomic Energy Agency probe of Iran’s nuclear program is at a dead end because Tehran is not cooperating, the chief of the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Thursday in an unusually blunt expression of frustration four days before he leaves office.
Mohamed ElBaradei also warned that international confidence in Iran’s assertions of purely peaceful intent shrank after its belated revelation of a previously secret nuclear facility. And he criticized Tehran for not accepting an internationally endorsed plan meant to delay its achieving the ability to make nuclear weapons.”
This guy has conceded, at the very end of his term, what was perfectly clear at the beginning. Iran has made huge strides on his watch, and all the while he was busy equating Iran with Israel. This parting shot does not make up for any of it.
