IAEA's Amano Oversteps His Bounds on Iran http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2010/safdari070510.html

He ( IAEA head Amano ) has also repeated the mantra that the IAEA cannot verify the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program because there could be undeclared nuclear facilities.On the first point, he is just plain wrong. Read the text of Iran's safeguards agreement with the IAEA, specifically Article 19 which states that the IAEA may refer Iran to the UN Security Council ONLY if the IAEA is

"not able to verify that there has been no diversion of nuclear material required to be safeguarded under this Agreement, to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices" and Article 2 which states that the purpose of the safeguards agreement is for the "exclusive purpose of verifying that such material is not diverted to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices" (emphasis mine). The IAEA has repeatedly and consistently stated that there has been no diversion of nuclear material in Iran in every single report it has issued.
