Moussavian denies any nuclear activity at Parchin site

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Sept 16, IRNA -- The Spokesman of the Iranian delegation to 
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors, 
Hossein Moussavian here Thursday categorically denied any kind of 
nuclear activities at the site of Parchin, in southwest Tehran. 
Parchin, 30 km (18 miles) southwest of Tehran, is a site for 
industrial activities of Iran`s defense organization. 
In an interview with IRNA, Moussavian stressed that the IAEA has 
not yet called for a visit to the Iranian site of Parchin. 
"This is a new lie by the Americans. The Americans, in fact, 
have repeatedly lied about Iran`s nuclear activities during the past 
one year," he added. 
This is a policy adopted by Washington to tell a lie amid such 
important meetings, he said. 
Moussavian once again reiterated that the IAEA has not requested a 
visit of the Parchin site. If the agency, at any time, announces its 
eadiness to inspect the site, Tehran would willingly let the IAEA 
inspectors to visit the site, he added. 
Whenever the US can not achieve its political goals, Washington 
resorts to such a childish propaganda, the Iranian diplomat noted. 
Iran`s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said on Sunday 
that the IAEA request to visit Parchin had only been the subject of 
"preliminary discussions" after diplomats in Vienna said Iran was 
holding out on allowing inspector access to the site.
