...could not certify that Iran's nuclear program is strictly, as Tehran claims, for civilian energy purposes. The council could discuss the matter as early as next week and present Iran with an ultimatum to comply with IAEA demands that it suspend uranium enrichment activities. But IAEA chief Mohammed ElBaradei urged all parties to cool the rhetoric and apply themselves to the search for an agreement: On Tuesday, Vice President Dick Cheney threatened "meaningful consequences" for Iran's defiance, while Iran's ambassador to the IAEA warned that Iran was equally capable of inflicting "harm and pain...
...uranium. Many international bodies have stressed the importance of preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons, with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) scheduled to consider referral of Iran to the United Nations (UN) Security Council today. With all of this in mind, one must wonder what IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei, winner of last year’s Nobel Peace Prize, was thinking when, as a recent Reuters article states, he “suggested in diplomatic circles that a compromise may lie in accepting small-scale enrichment in Iran in exchange for guarantees of no full nuclear fuel production...

...Russian support came at a price: At Moscow's insistence, the Security Council will not act on the Iran issue until after the next full meeting of the IAEA in March.

The delay will also give Russia five more weeks to pursue its own efforts...
...Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Mohamed ElBaradei stressed the need for global cooperation in addressing arms control and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in a speech yesterday at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum. ElBaradei said that the current non-proliferation program is rife with problems that render efforts to stifle nuclear development very difficult. “If we look at the system now, I think it is a dysfunctional system,” ElBaradei said. He said a multi-national effort is central to his vision of successful implementation of the United Nations’ non-proliferation treaty...
