In other Iran news, National Security Adviser James Jones has publicly disputed a front-page New York Times article that claims Iran knows how to make a nuclear bomb. The Times based its article on an alleged secret IAEA report that says Iran has “sufficient information to be able to design and produce a workable” atom bomb. On Sunday, Jones said, “We stand by the reports that we’ve put out.” Two years ago, the US released a report suggesting that Iran stopped work on its nuclear weapons program in 2003. The New York Times based its article not on the actual IAEA report, but on conversations with European officials who have claimed to have seen the secret document.
