Iran presents final documents on its nuclear program to IAEA

IRNA

Vienna, Oct 23, IRNA -- Iran`s permanent representative to the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali Akbar Salehi here on 
Thursday submitted the final documents on Iran`s nuclear activities to
IAEA Director General Mohammad ElBaradei at his office in Vienna at 
noon as scheduled earlier. 
After the documents were submitted to ElBaradei by Salehi, the 
IAEA director general said that they will be examined and the final 
assessment will be passed on to the IAEA Board of Governors on 
November 20. 
Salehi noted that the documents give full coverage to 
Iran`s entire peaceful nuclear program. 
An Iranian envoy to IAEA had earlier told IRNA that in view of 
the IAEA-Iran talks and agreements during ElBaradei`s latest visit to 
Tehran, it was decided that Iran should submit the required 
information to the agency. 
Part of the information on Iran`s nuclear facilities were 
presented earlier and the remaining was submitted today. 
The Iranian officials had earlier declared that the required 
information will be submitted to the agency within a few days. 
Announcing its readiness for cooperation with IAEA, Iran had 
underlined its legitimate right to peaceful application of nuclear 
energy. 
Simultaneous with the visit of the foreign ministers of three EU 
member states to Tehran and negotiation on Iran`s full cooperation 
with the agency on Tuesday, the Secretary of the Supreme National 
Security Council (SNSC) Hassan Rowhani declared that Iran`s right 
to peaceful access to nuclear energy had been underlined during the 
talks. 
According to SNSC secretary, the negotiations focused on three 
issues, namely the speedy signing and implementation of the Additional
Protocol, Iran`s full cooperation with IAEA and suspension of the full
process of uranium enrichment and its recycling. 
Once international concerns, including those of the three 
governments, are fully removed, Iran could expect easier access to 
modern technology and supplies in a range of areas. 
"Iran took the decision to temporarily suspend its uranium 
enrichment process to prove its good intention and to win the world 
confidence. 
"We believe that the recent interactions are significant 
achievements for the world community towards promotion of peace and 
security," Rowhani declared. 
Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi had also announced earlier 
Iran`s determination to continue its trend of confidence-building 
with IAEA. 
The IAEA Board of Governors had set October 31 as the deadline 
for Iran to present full information to the agency on its nuclear 
activities, while Iran had declared that it didn`t feel committed 
to meet the date due to illegitimacy of the trend of issuing 
the related resolution.
