The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says that investigators have not found clear evidence to prove that Iran's nuclear program has a military dimension. Mohamed ElBaradei, speaking on Tuesday to representatives of NATO parliaments in the Slovak capital, stated that it is still too early to determine whether, as Tehran insists, the goal of Iran's nuclear ambitions is solely to provide peaceful technology. The United States has accused Tehran of using nuclear research as a cover for weapon production and is trying to persuade the United Nations to impose sanctions against Iran for violating the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The IAEA is expected to release a report next week on the progress of recent inspections in Iran.
