...diplomatic solution remains the preferred outcome of the key players in the Iran nuclear standoff, but a "diplomatic solution" is easier said than done. The Board of the International Atomic Energy Agency decided in Vienna Wednesday to forward to the UN Security Council a report from the UN nuclear watchdog that could not certify that Iran's nuclear program is strictly, as Tehran claims, for civilian energy purposes. The council could discuss the matter as early as next week and present Iran with an ultimatum to comply with IAEA demands that it suspend uranium enrichment activities. But IAEA chief Mohammed...
