The IAEA, in response, urged Iran to reconsider, saying the decision would be in defiance of the monitor's 35-nation board. Both the Iranian document and the confidential IAEA response were made available to The Associated Press.

Let me start by saying I have zero trust for the Iranians and actually hope we take their program out by any means necessary.
