U.S. Unfazed by Iran Bomb Plans

Iran will probably not be required to answer questions about its past nuclear activities, United States Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday.

The United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (iaea) has unresolved questions about whether Iran was engaged in atomic weapons research. It says that these questions must be addressed before sanctions can be lifted. John Kerry, however, claimed the U.S. has absolute knowledge on the military activities Iran was engaged in. Kerry insisted the U.S. is not “fixated” on Iran, specifically on accounting for what Iran did in the past. Instead, he said that it is more important to keep moving forward.

The UN sanctions monitoring panel expressed concern that Washington may be keeping silent about Iran violating past sanctions because America does not want to disrupt the nuclear talks. The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations rejected the panel’s claim.
