Allegations on Iran's activities in Parchin baseless

Iran's IAEA envoy, Ali-Asghar Soltaniyeh, dismissed here on Wednesday the West's accusations on Iran's efforts to remove the remaining of its illegal activities in Parchin military site, calling the allegations as baseless, IRNA reported. Soltaniyeh made the remarks in a meeting with some press reporters after a briefing at an IAEA technical meeting. "Third parties should not interfere in Iran and IAEA technical cooperation to resolve the nuclear issue; this kind of noise and allegations are baseless," the envoy underlined. Soltanieh made clear that the IAEA could only gain access to Parchin once a broader agreement had been reached on how to address the agency's questions about possible military aspects to Iran's nuclear program. The Parchin complex is at the center of western allegations that Iran has been conducting research and experiments relevant to developing a nuclear weapons capability. The Islamic Republic has repeatedly denied any such ambition.
