IAEA report on Iran to be released next week

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Feb 13, IRNA -- The IAEA is to release its latest report on 
the Iranian nuclear programs as well as a number of other states next 
week. 
The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA) would submit his latest report on the nuclear programs of 
a number of countries to the IAEA Governing Council members, said the 
IAEA spokesperson Melisa Fleming in an interview with IRNA. 
According to the November Resolution approved by the IAEA 
Governing Council, the report of the IAEA director General would be 
discussed in mid-February by the 35 members of the Governing 
Council, Fleming said. 
The report would examine the nuclear activities of the Islamic 
Republic of lran, Libya, North Korea as well as the status of 
nuclear-fueled power stations of these countries, said Fleming. 
El-Baradei`s report would give comment on the level of the 
cooperation between Iran and the IAEA and the topic of dispatching the
UN inspectors to Iran. 
The report would be debated in a session of the IAEA Governing 
Council on March 8-10 and decisions would be taken in this regard. 
The Governing Council`s next session is hence of high sensitivity,
said Fleming. 
Fleming`s comments came as Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi
earlier in the day rejected recent allegations against Iran regarding 
its nuclear energy activities, stressing that the Islamic Republic is 
pursuing no plan for production of nuclear weapons. 
Kharrazi said Iran is determined to continue cooperation with the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and that Tehran will 
cooperate with the IAEA inspectors. 
Iran`s foreign minister was speaking in reaction to the remarks by
US Under Secretary of State John Bolton in Berlin that Tehran is still
continuing a nuclear program. 
Kharrazi said Iran`s nuclear energy program is meant for civil 
purposes, and that the Islamic Republic has a legitimate right to 
promote its nuclear energy technology.
