COMMENTS: CENTRIFUGE CANNOT HOLD
The international story covered by all three networks concerned the report by the International Atomic Energy Agency to the UN Security Council about Iran's uranium enrichment. ABC's Martha Raddatz (subscription required) called it "damning in every way." The IAEA found that the Iranians are "pressing ahead with their work in open defiance of world powers," as NBC's Andrea Mitchell put it. Teheran is accelerating the build-up of its centrifuge program, and will soon have 1,000 in operation. "So now it is back to the Security Council," said CBS' Jim Axelrod, where "tougher sanctions are no sure thing. Both China and Russia could block them" since each is already doing "plenty of business with Iran."
