The United Nations’ toothless nuclear watchdog, Mohamed ElBaradei, just can’t seem to make up his mind whether Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. He thinks they need more time to really figure it out: ElBaradei Says Unclear if Iran Nuke Plans Peaceful. (Hat tip: zulubaby.)

VIENNA (Reuters) - It is unclear if Iran’s nuclear ambitions are entirely peaceful, but there is still no firm evidence that Tehran is secretly developing atomic weapons as Washington asserts, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Tuesday.

“Have we seen any proof of a weapons program? Have we seen undeclared (uranium) enrichment? … Obviously until today there is none of that,” International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei told reporters before entering a closed-door session of the IAEA board of governors.

“But are we in a position to say that everything is peaceful? Obviously we are not at this stage,” he said, summing up a two-year IAEA investigation of Tehran’s atomic program.

Think maybe they’ll be able to figure it out in another two years?
