IAEA's repetitious reports should be stopped : Iranian envoy

Vienna, Feb 25, IRNA ?

Iran's Ambassador to International Atomic Energy Agency Ali Asghar
Soltaniyeh said the IAEA's repetitious reports on Iran which have
nothing new should be stopped .

Talking to IRNA, Soltaniyeh said he told IAEA's Board of Governors
that after several years of repetitive reports on Iran's peaceful
nuclear program, it should be stopped.
Members of IAEA Board of Governors in a five-hour explanation meeting
on Tuesday, discussed IAEA chief ElBaradei's new reports on Syria and
Iran.
After the meeting, Soltaniyeh said it was repeatedly underlined that
the impressions from ElBaradei new report about Iran are totally
baseless.
He added that Herman Nagat, responsible for the IAEA's regional
safeguards clearly underscored the incorrect impressions of the report
and said that all nuclear issues related to Iran's enrichment
activities are precise and under IAEA's control .
According to Soltaniyeh, the official underlined three times that the
incorrect information and conjectures by the media are completely
wrong and there is no ambiguity concerning enrichment activities in
Natanz.
Referring to the IAEA former reports about Iran, Soltanieh criticized
ways of writing the reports which clearly cause misunderstanding in
public opinion.
He continued that the reports should be prepared in two sections;
whether Iran has fulfilled its commitment upon Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT) or not, and whether the request from Iran like
fulfillment of Additional Protocol or sub-arrangements 1 and 3 are
beyond the commitment or not.
He asked how such voluntary measure could be accepted while the UN
Security Council issues resolutions and the issue is still considered
in the IAEA Board of Governors.
The ambassador said he told the meeting that the director general and
the IAEA had no alternative except announcing that inspection in Iran
has been carried out in a normal way and the issue should be removed
from IAEA's special agenda.
Referring to the new report of ElBaradei on Syria, Soltanyieh said the
report, without condemning Israeli bombardment in Syria, asks that
country to prove that the demolished building was not a nuclear
installation which is against logic and common sense.
Soltanyieh said this is the same scenario which was repeated again and
agaain for Iran and must be stopped forever.
