IAEA: Iran Fails to Address Nuclear Bomb Concerns
(Reuters) Fredrik Dahl - Iran has failed to address concerns about suspected atomic bomb research by an agreed deadline, the UN nuclear watchdog said on Friday. Iran has implemented just three of five nuclear transparency steps that it was supposed to by Aug. 25. It has not provided information on alleged experiments on explosives that could be used for an atomic device, and studies related to calculating nuclear explosive yields. Iran told the IAEA last week that most suspicions over its program were "mere allegations and do not merit consideration." The IAEA had also observed via satellite imagery "ongoing construction activity" at Iran's Parchin military base, where Western officials believe Iran once conducted explosive tests of relevance in developing a nuclear weapon.
