IAEA rejects AFP report over Iranian objection to ElBaradei visit
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Vienna, Nov 13, IRNA
Iran-IAEA-ElBaradei
Spokesperson of International Atomic Energy Agency Melissa Fleming on Tuesday rejected an AFP report over Iranian objection to a visit to Tehran of IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei.
Elbaradei has a standing invitation to visit Iran to meet with senior officials, She said.
"He was considering a trip last week but in view of conflicting schedules it was decided that this visit would take place at a later date," Flemming said.
Agence France Presse (AFP) made such a blunder on the eve of a report ElBaradei is expected to release about Iran.
The French news agency sent the forged dispatch from Vienna in a series of attempt to cause ambiguity about Iran-IAEA cooperation.
The Western media are aiming to introduce Iranian cooperation with the UN nuclear agency in an ambiguous way.
Ahead of ElBaradei's scheduled report on Iran, the US Embassy in Vienna has held a briefing for reporters of western media over Iran reports.
ElBaradei is expected to mention positive trend of Iran-IAEA cooperation.
