The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog has said that the international threat from Iran's controversial nuclear program has been exaggerated.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei said in an interview with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that there is no proof that Iran is developing nuclear weapons.

"In many ways, I think the threat has been hyped," the bulletin quoted him as saying.

"The idea that we'll wake up tomorrow and Iran will have a nuclear weapon is an idea that isn't supported by the facts as we have seen them so far."

Iran is under a series of UN sanctions over its refusal to freeze its uranium enrichment program, which Western powers is suspect is aimed at developing nuclear weapons. Tehran denies the allegation, saying its nuclear program is for electricity production only.

The IAEA chief also cautioned against further sanctions against Iran.

Shah Gholam,

 

The West and Israel has done nothing but downplay IRIs threat for the last 30 years, if they would’ve realized the threat early, there would not have been an IRI in power so a moron like you can come out here having the audacity saying they have “exaggerated” IRIs threat!
