The U.N. nuclear watchdog planned a major report on Iran that might have revealed more of its suspected atomic bomb research, but held off as Tehran's relations with the outside world thawed, sources familiar with the matter said.

Such a report - to have been prepared last year - would almost certainly have angered Iran and complicated efforts to settle a decade-old dispute over its atomic aspirations, moves which accelerated after pragmatic President Hassan Rouhani took office in August.

This is nothing short of disgusting appeasement. The UN withheld the TRUTH about Iran's nuclear program in a go along to get along ploy.

Note that the article parrots the narrative that Rouhani is a "pragmatist." This is ridiculous given his history and also given that Rouhani isn't the decisionmaker in Iran...
