The top U.S. diplomat also voiced skepticism about Iran's new claims that it had made major progress in its nuclear program and tested more advanced equipment for enriching uranium.

My Comment: Someone has got to be kidding .... this is our Secretary of State?

My recommendation is that she should listen to what the President of Iran has been saying for the past few years, and what the Mullahs who have been running the country are saying in their public pronouncements. From my perspective, Iran has been very very very clear on what they want and what their objectives are.
