But including that portion doesn't get the same hate fueled anti-Israel attention and was conveniently omitted from the CNN article or the quotes provided.
The IAEI also released just 5 days ago that Iran is in breach of its non-proliferation obligations, after said report.

Omitting such details would qualify as pretty significant misinformation in my books, but to others apparently it's not.
Is Israel justified in its attack and taking matters in its own hands in this emboldened move? IMO no and the attack has been condemned, but that is separate to what Iran was doing.
