(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) does not think it
is time to admit Iran is a nuclear power, nor does it have any
information indicating that the Islamic republic was currently
developing a nuclear weapon program, IAEA Director General Rafael
Grossi told CBC, trend reports citing tass .
When asked how close he thought Tehran was to making a nuclear
bomb, Grossi said in an interview aired on Sunday, 'At the current
level of production of this enriched uranium, Iran has accumulated
already enough material to have more than one device, if they chose
to do that. But we don't have any information that would indicate
that Iran has a nuclear weapon program at the moment.'
He was also asked if we had reached the point of no return with
Iran and whether it was time to admit the country a nuclear power

very hard so we don't get there,' he concluded.
