The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Tuesday closed the books on its decade-long probe of allegations that Iran worked to develop atomic weapons, removing an important obstacle to implementing July's landmark nuclear deal with world powers, diplomats said.A resolution approved by the U.N. watchdog’s 35-nation board of governors said the investigation was "implemented in accordance with the agreed schedule" and that this "closes the board's consideration of the matter."
It said Iran conducted "a range of activities relevant to the development" of a nuclear bomb before the end of 2003 in a "coordinated effort," and that some activities continued until 2009.
It stressed though that these "did not advance beyond feasibility and scientific studies" and that there was no evidence that Iran diverted nuclear material such as uranium or plutonium to these efforts.

The powers stress that Iran will remain under close IAEA scrutiny to ensure that it does not contravene the July deal or again secretly engage in more research to develop an atomic bomb.
Nor is Iran completely out of the woods with the IAEA, with the agency's "broader conclusion" that all Iran's activities are exclusively peaceful still to come.

Well it was determined that Iran did pursue a nuclear weapons program prior to 2003.... This is obvious, we know this, Iran basically admitted it. But this officially closes the IAEA's investigation into the past activities of Irans PMDs (possible military dimensions) of their nuclear program. With the past weaponization investigation closed its now time for the P5+1 to move forward with the full implementation of the July nuclear agreement.
 
This is good news. Still gotta keep a peeled eye on them though.

What's interesting is in the GOP debate last night there was a point where they were wet-their-pants/sky-is-falling fear-mongering about Iran for a while.
