Expert says implementation of UN atomic watchdog` decision on Iran impossible

IRNA

Vienna, Sept 12, IRNA -- An Iranian nuclear energy expert 
participating the session of the UN governing council in Vienna said 
on Friday the implementation of the resolution agreed upon by the UN 
nuclear watchdog on Iran is impossible within the pre-set deadline. 
According to the resolution adopted on Friday session of the IAEA 
governing council, Iran has to give answers to all questions raised on
its nuclear program by the end of october. 
The expert who declined to be identified said the governing 
council resolution is politically motivated and the IAEA experts, like
the Iranian side, are quite convinced that he resolution could by no 
means be translated into action within the pre set deadline. 
In the meantime, the Japanese experts in the bilateral talks 
with the Iranian delegation in Vienna said Japan has acceded to the 
additional protocol and has allowed surprise visits to its sites but 
no report has been provided revealing any illegal activities in its 
atomic sites. 
The 35-member board of governors adopted a resolution giving Iran 
until October 31 to prove it is not seeking secretly to develop 
nuclear weapons. 
The resolution submitted by Western countries calls on Tehran to 
clarify its nuclear program by the end of October and to suspend all 
its uranium enrichment activities.
