IAEA trashes Israel's claim of Iran N-plan!

• The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it considered the matter of whether Iran had previously pursued nuclear weapons to be "closed".

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's latest accusations about Iran's past nuclear activities received a warm welcome in Washington but a far cooler reception in Europe on Tuesday - deepening divisions among Western allies ahead of President Donald Trump's decision on whether to withdraw from the international N-deal later this month.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US would discuss Israel's newest purported evidence with the other global powers that negotiated the 2015 N-deal.

But Britain said the information reinforced the need to keep the deal in place. Britain's foreign minister, Boris Johnson, said Netanyahu's presentation "underlines the importance" of keeping the deal, with its tough constraints on Iran, in place. "The Iran nuclear deal is not based on trust about Iran's intentions; rather it is based on tough verification," he said.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it considered the matter of whether Iran had previously pursued nuclear weapons to be "closed". Responding to Netanyahu's speech, the UN nuclear agency issued a statement on Tuesday reaffirming that "the agency had no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009."
