QUESTION: Do you have anything to say about the IAEA report on Iran today?

MR. TONER: Yeah, just that it - I mean, we're obviously studying the report, but the key point is that it's - it underscores Iran's continued failure to comply with its international nuclear obligations and also its sustained lack of cooperation with the IAEA. But obviously, we're going to look at it in more detail and we'll have a fuller response in the days to come.

QUESTION: May I just follow on this?

MR. TONER: Sorry, Michel.

QUESTION: I'm sorry, one second. Yesterday, at the CSIS, there was a panel on North Korea where they were talking about global nuclear, including Iran and North Korea. My question is panelists were saying that AQ Khan, who is now a free man, his network is still working and it may be now still helping Iran or North Korea as far as nuclear material is concerned. Do you have any information on that?
