Headline AP: Iran Says Nuke Report a Misunderstanding

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran on Wednesday dismissed a U.N. report accusing it of failing to disclose a radioactive material needed to trigger a nuclear explosion, saying the report was based on a “misunderstanding.”

But the American envoy to the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said the report “strengthens” Washington’s assessment that Iran’s nuclear program “is clearly geared” toward building atomic bombs.

Iran is playing the U.N. for a fool, which, given the history of the U.N.’s resolve to act, might not be a bad strategy. But Iran might want to check with Saddam about how far you can push the U.S. Given the current political distraction with the Presidential elections, and the Democratic protests against halting any foreign threats, Iran is probably safe to continue working on their bomb for a while longer. But it is a dangerous game they are playing.
