Real News Video: El Baradei: Iran far from acquiring nuclear weapon

Babak Yektafar: El Baradei's statement will not change minds of those who want to confront Iran


"International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed El Baradei stated this week that Iran did not have the nuclear material, low enriched uranium, to develop a nuclear weapon. In 2007 The National Intelligence Estimate concluded that Iran is years away from acquiring the technology necessary to produce a nuclear weapon. The UN, the EU and the United States believe Tehran is working towards a nuclear bomb, an assertion Iran denies. Babak Yektafar believes that to properly solve the issue Washington needs to stop treating Tehran with a carrot and stick approach."
