No hidden issues in Iran’s nuclear activity - Iranian official

29 May 2013 [14:40] - TODAY.AZ
There is no issue secreted in Iran's nuclear program, Head of Iran's Atomic Agency Organization, Fereidoon Abbasi-Davani said, ISNA reported.

All the activities are conducted under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, he added.

Iran's advancements, both related to the number of centrifuges and related to atomic reactors in Arak site, are under the supervision of the IAEA and there is no undeclared issue in this regard, Abbas stated.

In March, IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano discussed the findings of a report on Iran's nuclear program and said that Tehran "is not providing the necessary cooperation" to enable the agency to conclude that there are no undeclared nuclear activities in Iran.

Iranian Ambassador to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, disputed the findings, saying that "all declared nuclear material in Iran is accounted for" and remains under IAEA surveillance.

Recently, Abbasi has said that the upcoming presidential elections in Iran will affect the future of country's nuclear program.

He added that in the present time, the enemies of Iran want to overthrow the ruling regime, because the Islamic Republic is a successful model example for other countries.

"They very well know that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful, and they know that Iran wishes to develop its space technology. That's something they don't want to see Iran do," he said.

The U.S. and its Western allies suspect Iran of developing a nuclear weapon - something that Iran denies. The Islamic Republic has on numerous occasions stated that it does not seek to develop nuclear weapons, using nuclear energy for medical researches instead.
