Iran carried out Nuclear Weapons-Related Activities

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in its report stated that it has credible information about Iran’s clandestine nuclear activities. IAEA report was released on 8 November 2011 in Vienna.

The IAEA report says Iran appears to have carried out nuclear weapons-related activities as part of a structured program prior to 2003. The IAEA report is based on intelligence forwarded by some member states and material collected by the agency itself. Iran insists that its nuclear prgramme is aimed at the peaceful generation of energy.

The U.N. Security Council has imposed four rounds of sanctions on Iran for failing to suspend sensitive nuclear activities that have both peaceful and military uses.
