IAEA: possible military past of Iran nuke program can be clarified

Any possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program can be clarified if the details of a preliminary deal sealed in April between Tehran and six world powers are implemented, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog said on Monday, June 8, according to Reuters.

Iran has been stalling an investigation by the International Atomic Energy Agency into its nuclear program. The probe is running in parallel to political talks between Iran and the six powers which are meant to end in a final agreement at the end of this month.

"I am confident that the clarification of issues with possible military dimensions is viable within a reasonable timeframe if Iran implements the measures envisaged in the (preliminary) Lausanne announcement," IAEA head Yukiya Amano said, according to the text of a speech.
