A report released by the UN nuclear agency found no credible evidence indicating Iran carried out nuclear bomb plans after 2009, or delivery system research after 2011.
The 16-page final assessment report released by the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, said Tehran had carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device before 2003. While some further activities took place after 2003, the IAEA reports that they were not put into practice. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister said the findings confirmed that Tehran's nuclear program was peaceful. A Vienna-based diplomat said the report may not negatively affect the implementation of the Iranian nuclear deal. The IAEA board member states are scheduled to discuss the report and adopt a resolution on December 15.
