I very much see (security assurances by the United States) as part of the final solution. |
I work on facts. We fortunately were proven right in Iraq, we were the only ones that said at the time that Iraq did not have nuclear weapons, and I hope this time people will listen to us. |
I would like Iran to do what they can right now to lower our doubts... Until negotiations resume. |
I would urge Iran in the coming weeks to show proactive and accelerated cooperation, and to demonstrate full transparency by providing the agency with a complete and accurate declaration of all its nuclear activities, |
I'd like to see Iran do all they can to build confidence. |
I'm going to report that we have completed our work with regard to verification of the suspension with one exception, the request by Iran to exempt 20 centrifuges for (research and development) without using nuclear material, |

I'm not sure it is very far-fetched, |
If a state has the ability to do that (enrich uranium or plutonium), that means that it is only a few months from producing nuclear weapons. |
If every country continues to exercise that right, we are going in the next 10 or 20 years to have 30 or 40 countries, in my estimation, who are virtual nuclear weapon states, |
If there is minor omission and this is clearly not intentional we are not running to the Security Council to say that it's a material breach. |
If they are into the process of refining material, we will be able to detect that through environmental sampling, for example, through gamma radiation areas survey, |
If they do that, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for them and they can become a full member of the international community. |
If we are able to put the authority and information together and bring to closure (the) issue peacefully and avoid a war I think that would be the best outcome for everybody concerned. |
in a professional way. |
