IAEA Chief Responds to Critics of His Iran Plan

The chief UN nuclear inspector Mohamed ElBaradei responded to US criticism, saying critics weren’t giving attempts to get Iran to come clean on past nuclear activities a chance to work. ElBaradei, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, also urged both Iran and the US-led camp pushing for new Security Council sanctions over Tehran’s nuclear defiance to agree to a time-out to cool passions and pave the way for a return to negotiations.
