The much-anticipated report on Iran by the
head of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
that was released this week confirms "substantial
progress" in Iran's cooperation with the agency
and the steady resolution of disputed issues and,
yet, the US government has reacted swiftly by
belittling Iran's cooperation and maintaining its
aggressive push for a new round of United Nations
sanctions on Iran.
"UN losing grip on Iran nuclear
plan," the CNN headline on ElBaradei's report
read, followed with the spin, bolstered by
commentators sounding the US government's
position, that the IAEA has admitted "it was no
longer in touch with how Iran's nuclear program
was developing".
That is certainly
stretching it, since a careful scrutiny of the
nine-page IAEA report conveys the opposite
impression - of the agency's near complete mastery
of knowledge of all aspects of Iran's nuclear
program
