U.N. Finds Signs of Work by Iran Toward Nuclear Device

UN investigators have released evidence that makes it clear that Iran may indeed be cooking up what looks like a nuclear device, and the development may still be underway. This report by the UN has given far more detail and depth than any other report on this issue from them before. There are now debates to whether certain interruptions could halt Iran's development of this weapon. They said that it was clear that Iran had gone far past just the typical blackboard and had used computers to generate models of nuclear explosions from 2008 and 2009. They are also conducting nuclear experiments. They are calling these experiments "strong indicators of possible weapon development". There was also in this report details on design information as well as the use of conventional explosives. However, despite all the evidence, Iranians are claiming that it is all fabricated and false.
