14. Of course they have questions about possible military dimensions to nuclear programs.

The whole point of ongoing inspections is to address and answer questions about this. The IAEA has certified that Iran has diverted no uranium to a weapons program. The last official NIE on Iran judged "with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program.”, which consisted of nothing more than theoretical models, anyway; no hardware or highly enriched uranium. The part I 'left out' is without meaning. This is the bottom line:

The IAEA board has neither formally found that any of the Iranian actions described above are in
noncompliance with Tehran’s safeguards agreement, nor referred these issues to the U.N. Security
Council.

I don't even recognize that exchange rate anymore.....! nt MADem Oct 2012 #1
