Iran-UN-Nuclear Sites
The International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have had open and unfettered access to all Iranian nuclear sites, Iranian Mission to United Nations said in a letter to The New York Times.
Press counselor of Iranian Mission to United Nations Mohammad Ali Mohammadi said in the letter: The International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have had open and unfettered access to all nuclear facilities in Iran, even well beyond Iran’s treaty obligations, and the I.A.E.A.’s latest report stresses that it has “been able to continue to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran.”
"This attests to the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program."
The report also states that the inspectors have conducted “nine unannounced” inspections of Iran’s enrichment facilities since March 2007, and that all aspects of Iran’s nuclear fuel cycle remain “under agency containment and surveillance.”
"Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful, legal and transparent. Iran has presented proposals to defuse international tensions, offering to engage in negotiations without preconditions to deal with all issues, including the nuclear issue."
Iran is committed to its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. In principle, Iran refuses to abide by illegal and coercive pressures or threats that seek to deprive Iran of its inalienable rights, Mohammadi said.
