Professor Joyner Provides Insight On IAEA Report

September 15, 2014

After an extensive 11-year investigation, it remains unclear whether Iran sought nuclear weapons, said Yukiya Amano, director general for the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Amano recently told the IAEA’s board of governors that Iran needs to increase its co-operation with inspections. Investigators plan to provide board members with a report that may fall short of drawing conclusions, he said.

Professor Dan Joyner said, “It doesn’t need to conclude that Iran never had a weaponization program, only that there is insufficient evidence to make a finding that they did have.”
