The UN General Assembly is meeting here in New York, and United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) is rallying against a potential U.S. military strike on Iran. Fine with me — I’m 100 percent opposed to any such attack. But UFPJ’s sample letter to the UN Security Council contains the following inaccuracy:
The IAEA is unequivocal that there is no evidence that Iran has diverted nuclear materials to weapons.
Here are the concluding lines of the IAEA’s August 31 report [pdf, “derestricted” on Sept. 14]:
The Agency will continue to pursue its investigation of all remaining outstanding issues relevant to Iran’s nuclear activities. However, the Agency remains unable to make further progress in its efforts to verify the correctness and completeness of Iran’s declarations with a view to confirming the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programme. The Director General will continue to report as appropriate.
Sounds pretty equivocal to me.
