U.S., EU Press Iran Sanctions After UN Shows Atom-Bomb Work

U.S. and European countries will press for more sanctions against Iran after United Nations atomic inspectors revealed “credible” information that the country conducted nuclear-bomb work as recently as last year.

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s report showed that “Iran has sought, and most likely still seeks, to equip itself with atomic weapons, under cover of a program that it pretends is civil and peaceful,” French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said today in a statement. France and its allies are ready to impose “unprecedented sanctions.”
