The vice president of Iran's atomic energy organization said yesterday
that a new report of the IAEA on Iran's nuclear issue had proved the fact that
the US propaganda against Iran was baseless, the Mehr news agency reported.
"Although the report does not meet our expectations, it
shows the US propaganda against the Islamic Republic's peaceful nuclear program
is completely baseless," Mohammad Saeedi told the news agency shortly after
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohammed ElBaradei released a
report on Iran's nuclear program.
"The report of the IAEA is not negative, and it is very factual and adds that
the Iranian nuclear program is under the supervision of the IAEA and that there
has been no deviation," Saeedi said. He stressed that on the whole, the report
presented that Iran had opened gates of its nuclear establishment to
investigators and IAEA easily.
"The investigators have been able, during this time, to watch Iran's nuclear
activities and install extra cameras in enriching establishments for more and
better surveillance," he said.
Earlier in the day, ElBaradei presented the report to the UN Security
Council, saying "Iran has continued enriching uranium despite a UN nuclear
deadline for it to suspend or face possible sanctions."
However, a senior official in Vienna close to IAEA said Thursday that UN
nuclear inspectors have found no "concrete proof" that Iran's nuclear program is
of military nature. Enditem
