Iran answers nuclear questions


Iran's leaders agreed to answer all remaining questions about their country's past nuclear activities within four weeks in talks with the U.N.'s chief nuclear inspector, his spokeswoman said Sunday.

The Security Council has demanded Iran suspend enrichment -- which can create both nuclear fuel and the fissile core of warheads -- as a "confidence building measure." It has additionally urged the government to restore broader inspection rights for the IAEA.

Under the plan, Iran committed itself to answering all lingering questions about its past nuclear activities -- including those it has evaded since 2003, when nearly 20 years of clandestine atomic work on the part of Tehran were revealed.

Iranian officials confirmed the existence of a P-2 research program only last year. As late as November, diplomats told the AP that agency had recently been denied access to a workshop testing and developing the P-2. Large-scale use of P-2s would allow Iran to accelerate its enrichment program, which the government insists is only to create the capability to generate electricity.


This story is significant because it is proof that Iran will have answers to our fears and questions on the recent nuclear activity in Iran. It will also provide in a month the truth of what Iran is really doing concerning nuclear activities and if the United States and other countries need to worry as much as they have in the past.
