ArmsControlWonk | an arms control weblog: Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement in the Islamic Republic of Iran, GOV/2005/67: "IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei has submitted a report concerning the Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement in the Islamic Republic of Iran (GOV/2005/67).

Paul obtained the full text. The report—marked ‘restricted distribution’—fell off a truck, digitally speaking.

George Jahn with AP led with the revelation that Iran has produced 6,800 kg of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas.

Iran has produced about 7 tons of the gas it needs for uranium enrichment since it restarted the process last month, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported Friday. A former UN nuclear inspector said that would be enough for an atomic weapon."
