A recent IAEA report on Iran's nuclear program was portrayed by
most Western mainstream media and politicians as new proof Iran is
close to building nuclear weapons. The US Senate passed sanctions
on Iran targeting its central bank in response.
However, the report does not say what the mainstream media and
politicians claim. It has been much more guarded and much of it is
about the state of Iran's program up to 2003. After that period,
the report is much more uncertain. Furthermore, many experts contend
that the speculations (not definitive proof) that are in the report
are misguided, too, leaning on unreliable sources, for example.
This update to the page on Iran has more information about
this. Although the page is long, look for the new section about
half way down under the heading of "Regurgitating old stories as
new information to justify sanctions?"
