On Thursday, the IAEA issued another report on Iran's nuclear program which contained language that is far harsher than anything released in the recent past. This most recent report confirms Iranian claims of enriching uranium to 20 percent and also states that Iran is working on a missile delivery system. The suspicion of modifying a missile with the intention of carrying a nuclear payload was first leaked to the Associated Press back in October 2009, but this is the first time the IAEA has come out and publicly confirmed that finding. Now that these findings have been made public we can expect many of the larger western nations to push for increased sanctions in the very near future, but there is still no guarantee that they will pass the UN Security council.
