IAEA-Iran-Proposal
Chief of the Vienna based UN nuclear watchdog Mohamed ElBaradei said in his report on Friday that Iran had presented a proposal for setting a timetable for its nuclear cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors.
According to informed sources at IAEA here, Tehran has made its latest proposal conditional with the term that Iran's nuclear dossier would remain `totally' at the IAEA, be surveyed within its safeguard, and not referred to the UN Security Council.
The report says Tehran had failed to comply with Friday's UN eadline to end enrichment activities.
ElBaradei has also noted that Iran has limited the span of its cooperation with the IAEA.
He said the Agency had been unable to make progress in its efforts to provide assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran.
Iran has announced that it would in that case present its cooperation time schedule maximum within three weeks to the IAEA.
The news in this regard has not been confirmed by official sources.
UN nuclear watchdog Chief Muhamed ElBaradei presented his report on Iran's nuclear program moments ago on Friday to IAEA Board of Governors.
In accordance with the regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the report has to be distributed initially among the thirty five members of the IAEA Board of governors.
The United Nations Security Council asked the IAEA Director General on March 29th, 2006, to present a comprehensive report on extent of Tehran's abiding by its February demands within thirty days to the IAEA Board of Governors, and simultaneously to the UNSC in New York.
