Tehran hits out over U.S. ‘sabotage’
Rassul Movahedian, Iran’s ambassador to the UK, insisted that Western reaction to last week’s report by the International Atomic Energy Agency had been misguided and had ignored the progress achieved in clarifying questions about Iran’s experiments.
International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei presented a report on Iran’s nuclear program to the IAEA Board of Governors on Friday which vindicated the country by reaffirming its nuclear transparency.
“The agency has been able to continue to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran,” ElBaradei said in the report.
While the U.S. and its allies argued the report strengthened the case for further sanctions, Tehran hailed it as a great achievement, saying it showed it had met all its obligations under the “work plan” – the agreement with the IAEA made last August and designed to clear up suspicions about Iran’s program.
