UN nuclear watchdog accuses Iran over nuclear weapons - Times Online

UN nuclear watchdog accuses Iran over nuclear weapons - Times Online: "The United Nations' nuclear watchdog has radically increased pressure on Iran by publicly describing concerns over atomic weapons for the first time.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it feared that Tehran could be working on a 'nuclear payload for a missile' in its bluntest report yet on Iran’s uranium enrichment programme.

The White House responded to the report by threatening “consequences” if Iran failed to co-operate with nuclear inspectors.

In the IAEA’s first report on Iran under its new director-general, Yukiya Amano, tougher language appeared to signal a sea-change in its attitude towards Tehran."
