Iran Bomb Report Shows Need for Sanctions With More Teeth: View

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s report detailing how Iran has conducted secret activities “specific to nuclear weapons” was a bombshell that surprised nobody.

While the report, based on the IAEA’s inspections and information from intelligence agencies of more than 10 nations, stopped short of saying that Iran had a functioning nuclear-weapons program, it made clear that the Tehran regime was up to no good -- working to adapt a Pakistani nuclear weapon design to fit its medium-range missiles, seeking to secure uranium for a secret enrichment program, using information gleaned from a Russian scientist to calibrate the explosive force of a bomb’s uranium core, trying to build detonators suitable for nuclear weapons and so on.
