IAEA: Iran Worked on Dev. Nuclear Weapon; Ties Iran's Nuclear Program to Weapons Production

The Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty website reports today (November 8, 2011) that the UN atomic agency charges -- in a report just released today -- that Iran has worked on developing a nuclear weapon design and other research and testing relevant for such arms.

The report marks the first time that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has directly tied Iran's nuclear program to weapons production.

"The information indicates that Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device," the IAEA says in the new report by Director-General Yukiya Amano.

The document also says that those activities may be continuing.
