We told you so: UN finds Iran worked on nuclear weapons

The United Nation’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has released part of its report on Iran, and it shows that many of critics’ fears were justified.

According to the report, most of the dedicated work took place before 2003, though some parts continued until 2009.

“These activities did not advance beyond feasibility and scientific studies, and the acquisition of certain relevant technical competences and capabilities,” wrote IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano. “The Agency has no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009.”

Most of the work involved scientific studies and investigating the feasibility of a weapon, though Iran did make some progress towards developing an offensive nuclear capability.

The report repudiates the long-held Iranian claim that they have never desired nuclear weapons. In particular, it charges that the disputed Parchin military site was, in fact, a facility used for nuclear weapons research.

Tehran has been notably hostile to the investigation. Even so, the US says that it still intends to relax the economic sanctions against Iran in the near future.
