Iran-Nuclear-Hosseini
Iran on Sunday called on the Western governments to come to terms and respect the landmark report the UN nuclear agency released on February 22.
Citing the report by Director-General of International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammad-Ali Hosseini, said that allegations made against Iran's nuclear activities were all proved baseless.
"All allegations made by the United States on alleged studies about Iran's nuclear program are proved unfounded," Hosseini said speaking to reporters at his weekly press conference.
He said the US allegations were "a quotation made by a third person who is no longer alive according to inquiries."
"We no longer answer baseless allegations," Hosseini stressed.
Hosseini said, "The highest specialized UN organ has verified that the six cases have been closed and that the process of monitoring Iran nuclear case has become normalized."
In his 11-page report released on Friday, the IAEA's Director General Mohamed ElBaradei verified non-diversion of Iran nuclear program.
He said "the agency had made good progress in clarifying the outstanding issues that had to do with Iran's past nuclear activities."
ElBaradei also stressed that in connection with the weaponization studies, "we have not seen any indication that these studies were linked to nuclear material."
