Iran-IAEA-Inspections
Iran's Ambassador at IAEA here Friday categorically denied report by AFP of Iran's rejecting of IAEA inspectors' work at country's nuclear facilities.
Speaking with IRNA on the sidelines of the ongoing 189-country conference on NPT treaty in Vienna, Ali-Asghar Soltaniyeh added, "Such news are broadcast under the prevailing conditions to influence the general atmosphere of the NPT Conference against Iran's peaceful nuclear program."
He further emphasized, "There has been no problem regarding the inspections of the IAEA inspectors in accordance with the articles of the NPT and the UN nuclear watchdog's top officials, too, have approved of this fact, since the IAEA inspectors are pursuing their work in Iran right now."
Quoting a fully unidentified diplomat in Vienna, the AFP reported on Thursday night that Iran has denied an unannounced IAEA delegation of inspectors with the responsibility to visit its Natanz Nuclear Complex.
