IAEA SAYS NO EVIDENCE OF IRANIAN N-WEAPONS PLAN

REPORT LIKELY TO INFLUENCE AGENCY'S VIENNA MEET

DUBAI - 01/03/2006 - As the countdown for a crucial meeting on Iran on March 6 gets under way, the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has revealed that it has not found any evidence that Teheran had diverted material
towards making atomic weapons.

In its report which has been circulated to its 35 board members, the IAEA said that its three years of investigations had
not shown "any diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices", the Associated
Press reported.

COOPERATION SOUGHT

However, it called upon Iran to substantially increase its cooperation with the IAEA inspectors as the agency has not
been able "to conclude that there are no undeclared nuclear materials or activities in Iran."

Without heightened cooperation, the agency would be unable to establish whether some of Iran's past nuclear
activities under wraps were not linked to the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr
Mottaki who has been visiting Japan said, "They (IAEA) could not find evidence which shows that Iran has diverted from
its peaceful purposes of nuclear activities in Iran." The report is likely to strongly influence the March 6 meeting in
Vienna where the IAEA board is expected to discuss the future course of action on Iran.

On February 4, the board had decided to report Iran's case to the U.N. Security Council, which can take action against
Iran, including the imposition of economic sanctions.

Buoyed by the report, Iran is rushing the head of its Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani to Russia for
another round of talks.

A Russian delegation led by Sergei Kiriyenko held talks with Iran over the weekend.

These discussions had revolved around the establishment of a joint venture facility in Russia, which would produce
enriched uranium for generating electricity.

That meeting produced an "agreement in principle" on this subject.

However, later, differences appear to have surfaced on another issue ? on whether Iran would be allowed to operate
a small-scale enrichment plant for research purposes.

The IAEA report said that Iran had begun enrichment using 10 centrifuges ? a move which can result in the production
of only minute quantities of enriched uranium.

Submitters Bio:

Joan Brunwasser is a co-founder of Citizens for Election Reform (CER) which since 2005 existed for the sole purpose of raising the public awareness of the critical need for election reform. Our goal: to restore fair, accurate, transparent, secure elections where votes are cast in private and counted in public. Because the problems with electronic (computerized) voting systems include a lack of transparency and the ability to accurately check and authenticate the vote cast, these systems can alter election results and therefore are simply antithetical to democratic principles and functioning.



Since the pivotal 2004 Presidential election, Joan has come to see the connection between a broken election system, a dysfunctional, corporate media and a total lack of campaign finance reform. This has led her to enlarge the parameters of her writing to include interviews with whistle-blowers and articulate others who give a view quite different from that presented by the mainstream media. She also turns the spotlight on activists and ordinary folks who are striving to make a difference, to clean up and improve their corner of the world. By focusing on these intrepid individuals, she gives hope and inspiration to those who might otherwise be turned off and alienated. She also interviews people in the arts in all their variations - authors, journalists, filmmakers, actors, playwrights, and artists. Why? The bottom line: without art and inspiration, we lose one of the best parts of ourselves. And we're all in this together. If Joan can keep even one of her fellow citizens going another day, she considers her job well done.


When Joan hit one million page views, OEN Managing Editor, Meryl Ann Butler interviewed her, turning interviewer briefly into interviewee. Read the interview here.

While the news is often quite depressing, Joan nevertheless strives to maintain her mantra: "Grab life now in an exuberant embrace!"


Joan has been Election Integrity Editor for OpEdNews since December, 2005. Her articles also appear at Huffington Post, RepublicMedia.TV and Scoop.co.nz.
