I was a bit surprised to see this headline on Yahoo News a few minutes ago:
AP NewsBreak: Nuke agency says Iran can make bomb
VIENNA – Experts at the world’s top atomic watchdog are in agreement that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is on the way to developing a missile system able to carry an atomic warhead, according to a secret report seen by The Associated Press.
The document drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency is the clearest indication yet that the agency’s leaders share Washington’s views on Iran’s weapon-making capabilities. […]
So, I looked around a bit more and found this from Reuters:
IAEA denies report it is sure Iran seeking atom bomb
VIENNA (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog said Thursday it had no proof that Iran has or once had a covert atomic bomb program, dismissing a news report that it had concluded Iran was on its way to producing nuclear weapons.
In a statement, the International Atomic Energy Agency reaffirmed IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei’s September 9 warning that allegations the agency was sitting on undeniable evidence of Iranian bomb work were “politically motivated and baseless.”
AP demonstrates yet again that it has become a disinformation agency, shilling for special interests.
Their story cites anonymous sources and is unsigned.
