Iran dismisses 'baseless' IAEA report, claims full transparency
Iran reasserted its defiance of the IAEA's additional safeguards checks and said the agency's latest assessment was void of new content.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) strongly criticized a quarterly report by the UN nuclear watchdog that has raised doubts about the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear program.
The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is "a repeat of old, baseless and politically motivated issues, presenting no new point other than a play with terminology," said AEOI spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi.
The IAEA report has cited a lack of progress in its communications with Iran over safeguard considerations and lingering questions on nuclear material in multiple Iranian facilities.
Iran relentlessly wants the IAEA to entirely close its probe into possible military dimensions of its nuclear program, a demand that — among other issues — has also slowed down the EU-mediated nuclear deal revival talks between Iran and the United States.
