Iran-IAEA-Hosseini
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said on Sunday that IAEA has not asked to retake environmental samples from Lavizan and the request is about an academic center.
The Information and Press Bureau of Foreign Ministry said that the spokesman had made mistake earlier in saying that Iran authorized IAEA to inspect Lavizan, whereas, the agency requested to take environmental samples from an academic center.
"Iran has agreed with the agency's request in line with Safeguards Agreement of the agency," he told reporters in his weekly briefing.
Hosseini further assured that the Islamic Republic of Iran would continue its cooperation with the IAEA as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
He said Tehran believes the IAEA is the specialized venue for resolving Iran's nuclear case.
"If Iran's nuclear case is returned to the IAEA from Security Council, all outstanding issues will be resolved in a better way." 1430/2322/1416
