By Robert Spencer on Nov 10, 2016 03:02 pm

“It’s important to note that Iran made no effort to hide this, hide what it was doing from the IAEA,” said Toner, apparently trying to give the impression that it was an honest mistake on the Iranians’ part. And it may have been. Or they may be acting with impunity in the face of the […]
