BBC: IAEA urges Iran to explain uranium particles at undeclared sites
The head of the global nuclear watchdog is deeply concerned that Iran has still not explained the presence of uranium particles at three undeclared sites.
Rafael Grossi told the International Atomic Energy Agency's member states that nuclear material or contaminated equipment had been at the locations.
The lack of progress "seriously affects the ability of the agency to provide assurance of the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme", he warned.
Iran has insisted it is co-operating.
It is thought that possible nuclear-related activities took place at the locations in the early 2000s, long before Iran struck a deal with world powers that placed limits on its nuclear programme.

Iran has had 1 to 6 nukes ever since North Korea has been conducting tests. Anyone can make a shotgun design nuke. Getting better than that to make it more easily deliverable or building up an inventory so that you do not shot your mouth off, shoot one off, blow your wad, and get literally creamed in return is the trick.
Three senators went to Taiwan to tweak China. Europe is worried about China. They are getting their back up a little. It seems. But you wonder, if they are getting more backbone or would rather pull a Ron Jeremy. I would rather have regime change by something home grown like the Persian Spring of 2009 rather than a bogus agreement. However, liberals, RINO and Democrat, do not believe it is possible. Obama could pull the trigger on Osama, while Biden could not. Obama however could not pull the trigger and support the Persian Spring. That is the Democrats I know. Squeaking to a foreign audience and roaring to a domestic audience.
Well,
Perhaps Mr. Kerry would like to be on the front pages again just like in his prior glory days.
Francis, we need you to lighten' up.

Iran already has a nuclear bomb,’ Israeli paper claims 27 September 2013
"Unnamed government analysts quoted by Maariv say Tehran has crossed all red lines and is already in possession of at least one nuclear weapon"
One reason given for the US using their atomic bombs in WW2 instead showing the Kamikaze zealots a demonstration was that they had so few. If a demonstration went poorly, the Japanese hardliners would double down. They almost did. They tried to stage a coup after two atomic bombs were used. When you have a handful of nukes of hard to use nukes, you might keep people guessing.
You jeep guessing until you have a score or more of reliable nukes with good delivery systems.
The jerks in the Biden administration, the usual liberal suspects, have been playing watch the birdie. Focus on the nukes and ignore the missile developments.
The Saudis also have at least 1 nuke.
I wish those in the Democrat establishment would quit their pre-school playtime and go back to live with their parents.
