Secretary of State John Kerry seemed to suggest that the U.S. would not demand a full accounting from Iran of all its military nuclear research before concluding a nuclear deal with Tehran that lifts economic sanctions. International inspectors have identified 11 areas of concern that Iran has failed to clarify, many of them based on western intelligence — reportedly including a laptop computer smuggled from Iran with files that detail the bomb-making research.
