Well this isn’t the way to make friends. The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency reported Thursday that Iran is continuing to grow its nuclear programs—defying international pressure. According to the report, the Islamic Republic has recently doubled the number of uranium enrichment centrifuges stored in an underground bunker and also destroyed a future inspection site to eliminate nuclear evidence. Israel may be considering a future attack of Iranian nuclear sites, which are viewed as a direct threat. The U.S. expressed concern over the report but cautioned " broadly speaking it is not surprising that Iran is continuing to violate its obligations," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
