UN Nuclear Agency: Iran Inquiry at "Dead End"
(New York Times) Jack Healy - Mohamed ElBaradei, the departing director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, warned Thursday that the agency's investigation into Iran's nuclear program had "effectively reached a dead end" after more than a year of stonewalling by Tehran. "It is now well over a year since the agency was last able to engage Iran in discussions about these outstanding issues," ElBaradei said in remarks to the agency's governors in Vienna. "We have effectively reached a dead end, unless Iran engages fully with us." ElBaradei also said he was "disappointed" that Iran had not accepted a UN-brokered deal that would oblige it to send most of its low-enriched nuclear fuel abroad.
