“Naturally, if the Agency continues on the current path, [if it still] releases political reports which do not conform to realities and [if] the agency [continues to] act as a [US] State Department think tank, we will definitely see new decisions with regards to [our] relationship with the IAEA,” he added. U.S., China, Russia make Iran pledge | POLITICO 44. HONOLULU -- President Obama said Saturday that he and the leaders of two other key nuclear powers -- Russia and China -- will work together to combat the development of nuclear weapons by Iran. Meeting at the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit here, he and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev "reaffirmed our intention to work and shape a common response so we can move Iran to follow its international obligations when it comes to its nuclear program,"” Obama said.

Iran nuclear work will survive sanctions' 'Iran nuclear work will survive sanctions' Iran's Ambassador to Italy Seyyed Mohammad-Ali Hosseini The Iranian envoy to Rome says threats and sanctions will not affect Iran's peaceful nuclear activities and Tehran will not give up its legitimate right to nuclear energy. “The technical reports [submitted after] thousands of [International Atomic Energy] Agency inspections confirm that Iran's nuclear activities have never diverted towards military [objectives],” IRIB quoted Seyyed Mohammad-Ali Hosseini as saying.
He added that Iran will continue its nuclear activities within the framework of the IAEA and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) safeguards. Hosseini said that the political pressure exerted by the US and a number of other Western countries is apparent in IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano's latest report on Iran. Hosseini advised countries calling for more sanctions against Iran to try and resolve their own financial and economic crises which stems from their mismanagement.
Amano report based on illusions' 'Amano report based on illusions' Lawmaker Ali-Reza Salimi A member of the Iranian Majlis (Parliament) has said the recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iran is based on illusions. Noting that IAEA director General Yukiya Amano's report lacks legal and technical approach, Ali-Reza Salimi, said Wednesday that Amano should have been impartial on the report.
“He has shown in this report that he acts as an agent of the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and US State Department. He has prepared a totally political, undocumented, and non-legal report,” the lawmaker was quoted by IRNA as saying. Salimi added that Amano, in his new report, has ignored or bypassed all international frameworks. “They want to promote Iranophobia in the region [with these measures], but they will fail again,” he said. Amano has alleged in his new report on Iran's nuclear program that the country appears to have conducted work on designing an atomic weapon.

'War with Iran will be a catastrophе' Amano report based on illusions' Iran Worked to ‘Miniaturize’ Weapon Design. Iran continued working on nuclear weapons at least until last year, including efforts to shrink a Pakistani warhead design to fit atop its ballistic missiles, a report from United Nations inspectors said. The International Atomic Energy Agency, drawing on evidence collected over eight years, reported yesterday that Iran carried out “work on the development of an indigenous design of a nuclear weapon including the testing of components.” The document shows that Iran worked to redesign and miniaturize a Pakistani nuclear-weapon design by using a web of front companies and overseas experts, according to the report and an international official familiar with the IAEA’s probe.
Such a warhead could be mounted on Iran’s Shahab-3 missile, which has the range to reach Israel, according to the IAEA. The report adds to international pressure on Iran to answer questions about its program. ‘Political Dishonesty’ Ongoing Work The agency’s report brought calls in the U.S. for tougher action against Iran.
