Answering alleged studies depends on IAEA change of literature

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Aug 29, IRNA -- Iran would answer alleged studies including new questions about its peaceful nuclear activities if the IAEA literature changed, Iran's Atomic Energy Organization Director said on Monday.

Fereydoun Abbasi made the remarks in an interview with IRNA.

'The literature of IAEA director general in the systematic reports on Iran peaceful nuclear activities is not acceptable and Yukiya Amano should change this approach. Iran wants the agency to recognize Iranian indisputable nuclear rights before accepting any additional task,' he said.

Abbasi Davani said that Tehran has ensured Amano and its colleagues in the agency that they can make a positive step forward in the coming 55th Annual Session of the IAEA General Conference, set for 19-23 September 2011.

“It seems that IAEA is under great pressure; it needs to prove it’s independence in decision making. The issue of alleged studies is to come to end somewhere; Iran will not answer thousands of questions,” he said.

Iran has repeatedly stated that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes of providing energy, but US and its allies claim that Iran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons and urged the Security Council to impose four round of sanctions.
