COMING TO A HEAD – AT 8:36 A.M. ET:  The nuclear talks with Iran are supposed to conclude next month with an agreement, but already even the UN is flashing warnings about Iran's behavior.  From AP: 

VIENNA (AP) — The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency is set to report little progress in its attempts to probe allegations that Iran worked on nuclear arms, diplomats said Thursday.

Two diplomats said the agency’s restricted report will likely be released to the UN Security Council and the IAEA’s 35 board member nations Thursday. They demanded anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the report’s contents.

Iran agreed a year ago to work with the IAEA. But — like previous probes — the investigation quickly stalled over Tehran insistence that it never wanted or worked on such weapons.

The IAEA also is expected to report that Iran is honoring commitments to put temporary restraints on its atomic activities as it negotiates on a long-term nuclear deal with the US and five other powers.

COMMENT:  Honoring its current, temporary agreement is insignificant.  What is frightening is that Iran continues to stonewall on the most important question of all – whether it was and is working on nuclear weapons.  Iran wouldn't stonewall if it had nothing to hide.  It clearly has everything to hide.  But will Nuclear-physicist-in-chief Barack Obama actually care?
