Try this test: Can you personally, whether you’re liberal or conservative—state categorically that you believe Iran does not have, or is not intent on building—a nuclear warhead and missile to carry it?
No?
Then why is the EU and the UN (and liberals on this side of the Atlantic) acting as if it’s all going to be just fine, and we should just go ahead and order a pizza? And why should we—or they—sit here like sitting ducks and hope they’re right? Doesn’t Iran have to pass a “global test” too, Mr. Kerry?
Diplomats: Iran May Have Nuke Equipment.
VIENNA, Austria (AP)—Iran may be hiding equipment bought by its military that could be used in a nuclear weapons program despite its recent agreement to freeze all such programs and place them under U.N. supervision, diplomats said Thursday.
The diplomats told The Associated Press that Iran has yet to respond to a request by the International Atomic Energy Agency – the U.N. nuclear watchdog – for a full list of the components used at the suspected military site of Lavizan-Shian after handing over a partial inventory in October.
The incomplete inventories are particularly worrying because they reflect purchases by Iran’s Physics Research Center, an organization run by the military, the diplomats said on condition of anonymity.
Iran insists its nuclear program is strictly for peaceful purposes, and the agency has said it has found no direct evidence to challenge that statement.
A linked issue is concern that nuclear equipment has disappeared from that complex and might have been moved to a nearby site, said the diplomats, who are accredited to the agency.
Additionally, Tehran has shrugged off a request made months ago and continues to deny IAEA inspectors access to Parchin, a military testing ground linked to possible experiments with high explosives that can be used with nuclear weapons, the diplomats said.
