Iran still cooperating with IAEA

Iran-NPT-Envoy
Iran on Friday rejected news on Tehran's prevention of IAEA snap inspection of its nuclear facilities at Natanz, Western news resources said Friday night.
The news on Iran's refusal to cooperate with the IAEA inspectors was announced on the sidelines of a two-week conference on the NPT held in Vienna.
"The IAEA's inspectors still continue their work in Iran," Iran's Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali-Asghar Soltaniyeh told IRNA.
A diplomat at the IAEA said in March that Iran objected to the agency's call to install cameras at Natanz nuclear facilities but has accepted the IAEA's snap inspection of its nuclear sites.
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani, in his latest reaction on the country's peaceful nuclear case, told reporters on Friday that he believes his talks with the EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana were going forward.
If the West adopts a proper stance, opportunities and ground will be prepared for both sides to reach a compromise, he added.
