IAEA meets on Iran Written by MidEast Daily News Published Tuesday, September 08, 2009

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad issued a defiant statement saying his country would no longer negotiate Iran's nuclear aspirations with anyone. The comments came as the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency admitted that the talks with Iran had reached a "stalemate." The IAEA head Mohamed El Baradei further accused Iran of withholding evidence that could show Iran was trying to build an atomic bomb. The IAEA also announced that Iran had increased its centrifuge machines, used in its program to enrich uranium, from 1,000 to 8,300. With a looming deadline set by the West of September 23 when the UN General Assembly meets in New York, Iran faces harsher sanctions if it continues to refuse to cooperate and work out a halt in its uranium enrichment program. Envoy: Iran 'very near' nuclear weapon September 9, 2009 JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Iran is "very near or in possession" of enough low-enriched uranium to produce a nuclear weapon, a U.S. envoy told the United Nations watchdog group. "This ongoing enrichment activity, prohibited by three U.N. Security Council resolutions, moves Iran closer to a dangerous and destabilizing possible breakout capacity," the U.S. ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Glyn Davies, said Wednesday at its board of governors meeting in Vienna. Iran has said its nuclear program is strictly for generating electricity. Its low-enriched uranium would have to be further enriched to make it weapons grade. "We have serious concerns that Iran is deliberately attempting, at a minimum, to preserve a nuclear weapons option," Davies said.
