TEHRAN, Mar 7 (NNN-IRNA) – A senior Iranian diplomat, said yesterday, the new Iran report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), includes some positive changes, including the removal of a location, alleged to indicate the possible presence, in the past, of a uranium metal disc, from the agency’s list.
Mohammad Reza Ghaebi, head of Iran’s permanent mission to international organisations in Vienna, made the remarks, in response to IAEA Director General, Rafael Grossi’s report, on the agency’s Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) safeguards agreement, with the Islamic republic, after his visit to Iran.
The latest report, which contains the agency’s normal updates for presentation to the IAEA Board of Governors meeting, to be held today, nevertheless, repeats the presence of certain unresolved technical issues between the two sides, Ghaebi said.
He noted that, the report has some positive changes and reflects both sides’ willingness to make progress towards resolving their differences and solving the remaining safeguards issues.
Iran and the IAEA on Saturday agreed on a roadmap, to resolve Iran’s nuclear safeguards issues by June, according to a joint statement by Grossi and Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, after their meeting in Tehran early Saturday.– NNN-IRNA
