Reuters: US says cannot confirm Iran’s enrichment claim
The United States said on Tuesday it could not confirm Iran’s claim it had enriched uranium to a level used in nuclear power plants.
“At this point, I can’t confirm any of the technical details. There is a lot that goes into a technical assessment of where the Iranians might be in their capability in operating a centrifuge cascade, whether it be a small one or a large one … I couldn’t offer an assessment for you as to where they stand in that process,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told a news briefing.
And does anyone really expect Iran to throw open the doors of Natanz so that the IAEA inspectors which are in country can inspect?
Stay tuned…….
