US Warns IAEA It Won’t Allow Iran To Develop Nuclear Arms

The U.S. Thursday warned it would never allow Iran to develop nuclear arms.

“We will not accept a nuclear-weapons capable Iran,” Jacki Sanders, the chief U.S. delegate at the meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told the U.N. nuclear agency’s board meeting.

Iran cautioned Thursday that it might soon end its freeze on uranium enrichment – which can produce fissile material for such weapons – if talks with key European countries on nuclear and other issues don’t produce the results it wants.

Iran has been in the sights of the IAEA since 2002, when Tehran’s secret and nearly two-decade atomic program was revealed.
