Iran ready for all-out transparent cooperation with IAEA: Asefi

IRNA

Tehran, Nov 2, IRNA -- Iran is ready for an all-out transparent 
cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 
regarding its nuclear energy programs, said Foreign Ministry spokesman
Hamid-Reza Asefi here Sunday. 
Talking to foreign and domestic reporters, Asefi said the report 
presented to the IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei was quite comprehensive 
and complete. 
"We are ready to have all-out transparent cooperation with the 
IAEA, and if the agency demands further details, Tehran will provide 
(such information)," he added. 
Pointing to the trend of Iran`s signing the Additional Protocol to
the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Asefi said, "We will first send a 
letter to the agency which will be discussed and approved during the 
IAEA`s meeting and then it will run its due course." 
"We have offered the report in the framework of our duties and 
responsibilities," said the spokesman, adding "Good talks were held 
regarding contaminated (Iranian Uranium) parts and we tried to clear 
up ambiguities." 
"We hope the issue would be settled and the agency finds answers 
to its questions," he further added. 
Asefi said that enrichment of Uranium in Iran was in a very 
primitive stage under the supervision of the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA), adding that Iran suspends the uranium enrichment
process voluntarily to prove its goodwill. 
He said however that peaceful use of nuclear technology is the 
right of the Iranian nation and Iran will never ignore such a natural 
right and no country can deprive Iran in this regard.
