International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) admitted its failure to investigate Iran's efforts to develop nuclear weapons. This statement came out shortly after Iran said it would conduct preemptive attacks against those who threaten its interests.
Failure of two-day visit by the IAEA could hinder any resumption of nuclear talks between Iran wider and six world powers - the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany - as a growing sense that Tehran feels it is cornered.
Iran rejects accusations that its nuclear program is a covert attempt to develop nuclear weapons capability, saying it was trying to produce electricity only. But last November, the IAEA said Iran bahwaw information they have run a series of test "relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive devices".
The collapse of the nuclear talks came as Iran seems increasingly isolated, with some experts see the Islamic republic mounting dissent in response to sanctions against the oil industry and financial institutions as proof that it was in no mood to compromise with the West.
In Jerusalem, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman rejected an appeal by the world powers to avoid pre-emptive attack against Iran's nuclear program. IAEA mission failure can increase the likelihood of an attack by Israel against Iran, some analysts say.
Evaluation of the IAEA inspection team for their visit Iran's nuclear program may be released later in February.
This makes the U.S. and the EU to tighten sanctions against Iran, including a policy to stop the import of crude oil from Iran.
This strain also led to speculation that Israel might conduct a military attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
