ElBaradei to leave International Atomic Energy Agency

Mohamed ElBaradei had been in office as head of IAEA for 11 years, so he probably decided it was well indeed time to move on.

Obviously, this has the biggest play on Iran, depending on who replaces him. At least, he’ll be in office until after the Chimpster leaves.

Beyond that, the IAEA will probably be looking at how it needs to expand its mission in the future as part of hiring a new executive director.
