Tehran, YJC. IAEA has shown contempt for Israel’s recent claim on a new report which conveys diversion in Iran’s nuclear program.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has rejected Israel’s demand to release an alleged report about the Iranian nuclear energy work, saying there is no report that may indicate any diversion in Tehran’s program.
"The IAEA has not prepared any report containing new information relating to possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program," spokeswoman Gill Tudor said on Friday.
These remarks followed Israel’s demand that the UN nuclear
watchdog agency go public with all information it has regarding the Iranian
nuclear energy work, Press TV reports.
Israel made the demand following a Thursday report by Reuters
alleging that the agency had held off an update over the Iranian nuclear energy
program last year due to concerns that it may undermine nuclear talks with
Tehran.
"The agency's reports on Iran to its Board of Governors are
factual and impartial. Their content is not influenced by political
considerations," Tudor added.
Iran has repeatedly emphasized that its nuclear energy program is
meant for civilian purposes.
Officials in Tehran have already called on the IAEA to come clean
on anything it has regarding the suspicions over the diversion of the Iranian
nuclear energy program.
However, the agency has so far found no diversion in Iran’s
nuclear program to publicize it.
Iran is in talks with the five permanent members of the UN
Security Council -- Russia, China, France, the UK and the US -- plus Germany to
fully resolve the decade-old dispute over the Tehran’s nuclear energy program.
The two sides inked an interim nuclear deal in Geneva,
Switzerland, on November 24, 2013. The Geneva deal took effect on January 20.
The two sides are now in pursuit of a final comprehensive deal.
Israel’s allegations against Iran come as the Tel Aviv regime, which is widely
believed to be the only possessor of nuclear arms in the Middle East,
reportedly maintains between 200 and 400 atomic warheads.
Besides, Israel has never allowed any inspection of its nuclear
facilities and continues to defy international calls to join the nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty.
