IAEA: Iran Not Capable of Making Nuclear Weapons
Atomic Agency Continues to Confirm No Uranium Diverted For Other Purposes

The White House has presented the Iranian nuclear program as an “urgent problem that has to be addressed,” in spite of the fact that the IAEA has insisted that has been cooperating on recent issues.

[...] Here are facts, sheeple: The US is not inspecting Iran’s facilities. They have no reasonably, eloquently crafted rhetoric about Iran’s nuclear capabilities to rebut the reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stating that Iran is in compliance with the agency and that Iran’s nuclear supply (to be used to power the country’s new energy grid) has ‘not been diverted to any other use‘.
