adminTEHRAN. – Iran says inspection of the Parchin military site is not included in its new agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Following two days of “constructive technical” talks in Tehran, Iran and the UN nuclear agency issued a joint statement yesterday on further bilateral cooperation. Iran and the IAEA reached an agreement regarding seven practical steps which Tehran will carry out by May 15.
“Inspection of Parchin is not within the framework of these seven steps,” Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI), told reporters in Tehran yesterday. Iran has vehemently dismissed allegations about clandestine nuclear activities at its Parchin military site.
The IAEA inspectors have visited the site twice before. Given Iran’s cooperation, the country is looking forward to a “positive” review by the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano, Kamalvandi added. “We expect that we will witness a positive report by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director general to the Board of Governors considering the data provided by the Islamic Republic of Iran and the climate of cooperation,” Kamalvandi said. — Press TV.
