1. How did Israel and the U.S. initially respond to a report by the IAEA (the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog) that Iran is continuing to enrich uranium (used to make nuclear weapons)?

2. List the four major concerns the U.S. has with the Syrian government, according to U.S. spokesman Gordon Duguid.

3. Another recent report by the IAEA stated that Iran has slowed down its uranium enrichment program. However, the report did not highlight the fact that the Iranian government already has enough material to produce a nuclear bomb. How did independent weapons experts react to this information?

4. How does the IAEA account for the amount of uranium enriched by Iran being underreported?

5. IAEA officials rejected the possibility that the gap in the numbers meant Iran could smuggle enriched uranium out of the plant for further processing at a secret location. "We're sure that no material could have left the facility without us knowing," the senior United Nations official said, admitting, however, that inspectors only made the inventory rounds once a year. "It's only at that moment that we have our own independent data."
Do you think that Iran could have smuggled enriched uranium out of their own plant without the U.N. officials knowing? Explain your answer.
