The International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran has exempted some centrifuges from its commitment to freeze uranium enrichment and lacks trustworthiness because of past concealment and delays in disclosing information. The IAEA board of governors in Vienna, is to decide whether to censure Iran for its conduct.
IAEA spokesman Mark Gwozdecky told reporters outside the board meeting that the issue of Iran's nuclear program was by no means closed.
"The two most important issues are as we've said for some time, to explain the contamination that we've seen on the enriched uranium particles from environmental samples, there are still some unanswered questions as to how those came to be where they were," he said. "And the other issue is the so-called P 2 centrifuge program that Iran has there's some unanswered questions about the nature and the extent of that program, particularly what happened between 1995 and 2002 and around 1995 Iran got the designs for the P2 and they say that they didn't take any action and they say they didn't do any work on the P2 until 2002. We need to see more documentation and more corroboration to support that statement, so far we haven't had enough to satisfy ourselves that there was no action taken in those years."
Mr. Gwozdecky said he hopes the 35-nation IAEA board will reach a consensus on Iran later this week.
The IAEA says its wants to do independent sampling in Pakistan to confirm the actual source of contaminated equipment in Iran. Tehran claims the contamination was already on equipment it bought on the nuclear black market.

Give them their well earned time for crying out loud, for no doubt after the 5th nuclear warhead hit's Israel, why, their decision will be firm for censure.
How about the IAEA "passes censure" against North Korea too so we can get back to saving the world from global warming and giving everybody in the world access to American health care?

You'd have to be insane or part of the U.N. to even use that kind of terminology.
Hey dope-heads: I've never worked in international relations, I've never been a diplomat by profession. I've never studied the intricacies of nuclear power generation. I've never taken a course on the Islamic mind. But even I can see the damned obvious.
Iran wants the bomb. They've always wanted it. What kind of moron do you have to be not to know that?
Eroded?
IAEA is a joke.
There's a shocker!
***The IAEA board of governors in Vienna, is to decide whether to censure Iran for its conduct.***
Ah, something else to dither over.
There are men in the world..and then there are mice.
heh... y'think? ;')
My own confidence in Iran's assurances hasn't eroded one iota, but I didn't have any.
bomb the hell out of Iran before they can bomb us or Israel.
