The Report
The IAEA today said that Iran is advancing enrichment but that it can't figure out if Iran is developing nuclear arms. The IAEA, "has not seen any diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices." As said by the Director General Mohamed ElBaradei. It was also added that the agency was not, "in a position to conclude that there are no undeclared nuclear materials or activities in Iran." The report also said that Iran began testing 20 centrifuges at it's plant at Natanz. Some documents found on a laptop acquired in 2004 showed information that said Iran "was trying to modify ballistic missiles to carry nuclear warheads." these documents however could not be verified.

Sanctions? We don't fear Sanctions.
Ali Hosseini-Tash, a top Iranian nuclear negotiator, said today that Iran sees no reason to back down from the dispute of it's nuclear program. "Iran has predicted and studied the consequences of any possible Security Council decision. There is no reason for Iran to retreat," said Tash. "Any possible Security Council resolution against Iran's peaceful nuclear activities will not have any legal or rational foundations. It is not the last loop in the chain of decisions, especially when the US and the West are not sure of an agreement among Security Council members." This leaving Iran only a week before it's brought again to the council for action.
