Nuclear Disclosures on Iran Unverified

Just days after Iran and the so-called E3 – the UK, France, and Germany – entered an agreement effectively saving Iran from UN sanctions, questions have arisen as to whether the Mideast country may be developing nuclear warhead technology. US Secretary of State Colin Powell this week referred to recent intelligence that may implicate Iran. However, the validity of the source is still being investigated. US officials are carefully scrutinizing the evidence – particularly crucial in light of false information alleging Iraqi possession of weapons of mass destruction. In the meantime, the US administration will continue disarmament efforts elsewhere, as President Bush attempts to rally Asian support for halting North Korea's weapons program. – YaleGlobal
