The Washington Post reports: "A spokesman for the International Atomic Energy Agency said a delegation from the U.N. nuclear watchdog would return home after being blocked by Iran from access to key records and sites."

My Way News - Russia warns against "hasty conclusions" over Iran
My Way News reports: "Russia said Wednesday the world should not draw 'hasty conclusions' over Iran's most recent rebuff of U.N. attempts to investigate allegations the Islamic Republic hid secret work on atomic arms, but the U.S. and its allies accused Tehran of nuclear defiance."

Comment: Iran says they have nothing to hide, but their actions show otherwise. They say their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, just for producing energy. Has Iran been open, transparent, and cooperative with the U.N. authority in charge of "peaceful" nuclear energy projects? No. The failure of this latest initiative by the IAEA means that it's getting harder to make the case that diplomacy and sanctions are having any impact on the nuclear program. An Israeli or U.S. strike on Iran just came one step closer today.
