Iran Frustrates IAEA Efforts
In a recent speech, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice questioned Iran’s claims about the peaceful goal of its nuclear program:
“Why has Iran rejected, thus far, Russia’s offer of uranium enrichment in Russia? Why, as the IAEA’s most recent report shows, is Iran continuing to enrich uranium in violation of UN Security Council resolutions? Why, as the IAEA also suggests, are parts of Iran’s nuclear program under the control of the Iranian military? And why is Iran continuing to deny international experts full access to its nuclear facilities?”
“It’s … hard to imagine that there are innocent answers to these questions,” said Secretary of State Rice.
