VIENNA: The UN nuclear watchdog chief said on Monday that Iran is not providing the necessary cooperation, making it difficult for the agency to provide credible assurance that the Islamic Republic doesn’t possess undeclared nuclear material.
Iran should grant access without further delay to the Parchin military complex, where it is believed to have tested rockets. Since Iran has not provided such access to date, “The Agency therefore cannot conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities,” the International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Yukiya Amano told its 35-nation board on Monday.
Amano said that pressure must be exerted on Iran to finally address suspicions that it has researched how to build an atomic bomb. The UN agency chief called for immediate inspector access to Parchin military complex.
