Iran: IAEA Nuclear Report a Breakthrough, But at What Cost?

A new UN report makes the strongest case to date that Iran’s nuclear program is intended to construct nuclear weapons. The report will significantly affect the debate over Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons as well as increase growing tensions over Israel’s reported plans to attack Iran. Outstanding questions are why the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) suddenly decided to release a report with such dramatic conclusions and whether the US sacrificed too much sensitive intelligence to obtain this report.

Iran/Russia: Tehran Dispatches Officials to Moscow to Discuss IAEA Report

Iran sent an official delegation to Moscow to discuss the new IAEA report on its nuclear program, according to a Russia press report . . . Russia has been a key defender of Iran and its nuclear program and helpd build Iran’s Bushehr reactor and provided it with nuclear fuel . . . Iran’s quick action to begin talks with Russia probably reflects its concern at the unusually blunt accusations in the report that Iran has been engaged in nuclear weapons research . . . Iran and Russia probably are also worried how the US and Israel will use the report to increase international pressure on Iran.

Israel/Iran: New Reports Israel Planning an Attack on Iran

In a flurry of Israeli media stories, reports have resurfaced that Israel is planning an imminent airstrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. It is impossible to confirm such reports that may have been leaked to the Israeli media for political purposes or to influence policy. They may, however, reflect rising Israeli concern about Iranian rogue behavior, including the recent attempt to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the U.S.

CIA Director Hayden: Assassination Plot “Absurd But True.”

In a new interview with LIGNET.com Managing Editor Fred Fleitz, former CIA Director Michael Hayden said that an Iranian government-backed plot revealed by the Obama administration to kill the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. is “absurd but true” and reflects that “the Iranians are capable of great evil.” Hayden believes this is a dangerous situation for U.S. security and indicates that Iranian decisionmaking is either irrational or dysfunctional.

EU/Iran: EU Sends Mixed Signals to Iran

The EU agreed on Friday to sanction five Iranians over the plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. . . . EU Foreign Policy Director Catherine Ashton also announced on Friday that multilateral talks with Iran over its nuclear program could soon resume . . . Ashton’s statement was in response to a letter from Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator . . . Iran wants recognition of its right to enrich uranium as a precondition to talks; Aston rejected preconditions . . . the EU’s sanctions decision falls well short of the U.S. decision to sanction the Iranian Central Bank but is still a significant achievement by the 27-member EU . . . the simultaneous offer to engage in nuclear talks was unfortunate since it will overshadow the EU sanctions decision and telegraph to the Iranian leadership that relations with the EU will remain unchanged after the assassination attempt.
