State Department Reaction to Iran’s Nuclear Program

A State Department press briefing said the following about Iran’s nuclear program:

The report issued today by the IAEA makes clear that Iran aims to continue expanding its nuclear program in ways that have no credible peaceful purpose.  These planned actions further undermine Iran’s claims to the contrary.  If Iran implements these plans, we will respond accordingly.

Iran must cooperate with the IAEA without further delay to fully implement its legally binding safeguards obligations.  Until Iran does so, the IAEA Board of Governors will continue to hold Iran to account.  We remain in close coordination with our partners and allies and are prepared to continue to increase pressure on Iran should its non-cooperation with the IAEA continue.
