ElBaradei-Iran-Report
IAEA Secretary General Mohammed ElBaradei said in his Monday report to UN nuclear watchdog's Board of Directors that no sign of deviation from peaceful activities, or breaching articles of NPT agreements have been spotted in Iran Parchin Nuclear Site.
The same conclusion is drawn in ElBaradei's report where he has reported on Iran's nuclear Lavizan and Kolahdouz sites in northern Tehran.
The report reads, "We have no evidence about any deviation from peaceful nuclear activities in Iran after inspecting all the suspected cases."
The IAEA Chief elsewhere in the report points out that after the issuance of last IAEA Board of Governors' resolution on Iran, Tehran delivered an official letter to the IAEA in which the Iranians have announced they would resume their activities "within the framework of the NPT."
The report reiterates, "Under such conditions that Iran has quite openly resumed activities at Isfahan UCF Nuclear Complex, one of whose products is Green Salt, other claims in the field are naturally insignificant."
ElBaradei has told the Board of Directors that Iran is currently engaged in "research work regarding uranium enrichment."
The report stresses in various parts that Iran's nuclear activities in Natanz are "still" conducted under NPT supervision overage.
ElBaradei's report was handed out among IAEA members states' delegations on Monday evening in Vienna.
The IAEA Board of Governors would a week from now convene to reflect its viewpoints on this report.
The report, in which ElBaradei has as usual asked Iran for more transparency without defining in which areas, was scheduled to be submitted on Monday morning, was delayed till receiving latest report of ElBaradei's deputy who was in Tehran.
