Iran criticizes IAEA for reading verification report in Board of Governor`s session

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, March 2, IRNA -- An Iranian atomic energy official described 
the act of an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) deputy in 
reading verification report on Iran`s nuclear activities in the Board 
of Governors meeting as an `unusual` measure. 
Deputy for Iranian Atomic Energy Organization for planning and 
international affairs, Mohammad Saeedi, told IRNA here that the 
reports of this kind are as a rule presented to technical meetings 
held prior to Board of Governors` meeting while this time and on 
Iran`s case it was read out in the official session of the board. 
He said Iran was critical of the point that the presentation of 
the report should have followed the same routine procedure as usual. 
The official noted that Iran has already let IAEA Director General
Mohammad ElBaradei know about its view on regarding the act. 
According to Saeedi, the report reflects on the procedure of 
IAEA inspection visits and also the origin of the pollution 
detected in some of nuclear particles in Iran. 
He said it stresses the fact that all Iran`s nuclear activities 
have been carried out under the supervision of the IAEA experts and 
were monitored by the cameras installed by the agency. 
Saeedi also noted that the IAEA has underlined in the report 
Iran`s cooperation in letting IAEA inspect Parchin installations. 
Referring to the point that the US probably is to issue a 
statement on Iran`s nuclear activities, he said the important thing 
for Iran was only that it was cooperating with the IAEA in the full 
scale and tried to bring all its nuclear activities in compliance 
with the internationally-accepted regulations.
