Expert: Tougher inspections may test IranEs nuke resolve
Article Abstract:
An expert from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has said that the latest international give-and-take over Iran's nuclear program might point the way to a showdown, as Iran is capable of stalling other nations from determining with certainty whether it is developing nuclear weapons. If Iran refuses to comply with an additional protocol to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), then it will allow the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct tougher inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities.
