Finds No Evidence of Iran Nukes The Associated Press VIENNA, Austria Nov. 10 — A confidential U.N. nuclear agency report has found "no evidence" to back U.S. claims that Iran tried to make atomic arms, but it cannot rule out the possibility because of past cover-ups by Tehran, diplomats told The Associated Press on Monday. In Moscow, a top Iranian official said his country is temporarily halting its uranium enrichment program and has agreed to tougher U.N. inspections. Citing the report by the head of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, the diplomats said the 29-page document faults Iran for not telling the truth in the past about its nuclear programs. Prepared for a Nov. 20 meeting of the IAEA board of governors, the report was less than the clear condemnation of Iran's nuclear activities the United States had been looking for. The Bush administration has argued that Iran should be declared in violation of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty at that meeting a move that would lead to U.N. Security Council involvement and possible sanctions. But the IAEA report also credited Iran for a change of heart since September, when the agency demanded it clear up suspicions it was running a covert weapons program by explaining contradictions and ambiguities in its nuclear activities. "To date, there is no evidence that the previously undeclared nuclear material and activities ... were related to a nuclear weapons program," said one of the diplomats, reading from the report drawn up by IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei. "However, given Iran's previous pattern of concealment, it will take some time before the agency is able to conclude that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes." abcnews.go.com
