The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran is withholding information relating to its nuclear program. The report actually accuses the Iranians of a willful lack of cooperation based on, among other things, their refusal to answer allegations that their nuclear program may be intended for military use, rather than the generation of energy.
According to Western intelligence agencies, the Iranians have “ventured into explosives, uranium processing and a missile warhead design.” Not the normal activities one would associate with a peaceful energy program. The IAEA has presented this evidence to the Iranians and asked for an explanation.
The Iranians, always the honest brokers, dismissed the evidence as “forged” or “fabricated,” claiming their experiments were peaceful in nature and have nothing to do with a nuclear weapons program. Of course, Iran refused to provide any documented proof to support their claims and denied the agency access to its scientists.
This is the stance for a government with nothing to hide?
