Tehran, YJC. On Wednesday Iran’s UN mission slammed a report by Washington Post, which cited an anti-revolutionary group as claiming that Iran is conducting secret nuclear research.
"It’s a pity that the newspaper has published the false and
repetitious claims raised by a terrorist group whose inhumane nature is clear
to all, particularly to the American public opinion, and the falsehood of that
group’s previous claims have been made public after a while,” Iran’s mission at
the United Nations said on Wednesday.
The announcement followed the Washington Post’s publication
of a report on Tuesday, quoting the exile group National Council of Resistance
of Iran as claiming that Tehran is conducting secret research with the aim of
developing nuclear weapons.
The group claimed Iran is conducting clandestine nuclear
activities in the suburban area of Lavizan, Tehran.
The Iranian mission also decried the claim as "furious
resort to falsification and dark propaganda” against Tehran’s peaceful nuclear
program by the radical groups whose efforts to raise security concerns over
Iran’s civilian nuclear activities have been of no avail.
It also stressed that Iran’s commitment to the
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and good cooperation with the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have been acknowledged in the UN nuclear agency’s
reports.
