Tehran, YJC. Salehi says the IAEA inspectors cannot visit Iran’s military facilities.
The
Head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization who was speaking at a press
conference in the sidelines of his meeting with senior clerics of Qom pointed
to reports by Western media that Iran’s nuclear program has gone beyond its
regular, safe boundaries and said "Due to the various sorts of IAEA inspection
as well as comprehensive cooperation and clarification, these accusations are
unfounded.”
Asked
if the IAEA inspectors also pay visit to Iran’s military industrial facilities
and missile equipments Aliakbar Salehi said "There is no such right or duty for
the IAEA inspectors. There is no international body for inspecting such
facilities. There is no such a treaty either. Nor is the IAEA in a position to
do something like that.”
A few
local news agencies had earlier misquoted Salehi, saying the inspectors would
visit Iran’s military facilities.
The
Atomic Energy Organization’s Public Relations office has rejected the report as
misinterpretation.
