Reassuring developments?

The IAEA has released a report stating that Iran is being generally truthful about their nuclear program. What is still troubling about the entire issue, however, is that there is little difference between refining uranium for power production use and refining it for military use. The EU, Russia, and the U.S. have offered to construct reactors for Iran and supply them with non-weapon use nuclear fuel but Iran has demurred; they do not trust having foreign countries in control of their energy resources.

What makes this particularly frightening is that Iran, while not directly providing oil to the U.S., nonetheless can exert tremendous influence on our energy supply. If Iran is concerned about U.S. influence on their energy supply why do we stand for Iran having influence on our own energy supply?

Report: Iran mostly honest on nuclear issue
But U.N. agency says its knowledge base is shrinking

VIENNA, Austria - A report from the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency on Thursday found Iran to be generally truthful about key aspects of its nuclear history, but it warned that its knowledge of Tehran's present atomic work was shrinking.

The International Atomic Energy Agency report, released to its 35 board members, also confirmed that Tehran continued to defy the U.N. Security Council by ignoring its repeated demands to freeze uranium enrichment, a potential pathway to nuclear arms.

The White House said it would continue to push for a third round of U.N. sanctions against Iran despite the findings.

"We believe that selective cooperation is not good enough," White House press secretary Dana Perino said.
