IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, June 17, IRNA -- Head of International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA) Mohamed ElBaradei on Thursday acknowledged that the agency was 
in mistake in accusing Iran of withholding information about 
centrifuge plant for uranium enrichment. 
ElBaradei said that the report he delivered to Board of Governors 
should be corrected. 
Diplomats interviewed at IAEA headquarters told IRNA that 
acknowledgement of the agency`s mistake indicated that Iran has 
been honest in cooperation with the international agency. 
"Absolutely, it was a win for Tehran when the agency admits 
mistake in Director General`s report to the Board. It serves as a 
feedback for Iran to prove that it has been honest in terms of 
Non-Proliferation Treaty and that the report provided about Iranian 
nuclear program are influenced by the United States which wants to 
settle score with Tehran through an international agency," the 
diplomat said.
