Le 8 novembre 2011, l’Agence internationale de l’énergie atomique (AIEA) publiera un nouveau rapport mettant en évidence la portée militaire du programme nucléaire iranien. Envers et contre les engagements internationaux liés au Traité de non-prolifération (TNP), Téhéran accumule des stocks grandissants d’uranium enrichi.
