Tehran : Iran has said the latest International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on the country's nuclear activities prove that they are "peaceful".
"In this short, four-page report, mostly the previous issues are repeated and two points catch the eye," Iran's IAEA envoy Ali-Asghar Soltanieh told Mehr News Agency Wednesday.
"Firstly that Iran has successfully continued its enrichment activities and has enriched more (uranium) and at the same time IAEA inspectors have successfully continued their task.
"It is explicitly mentioned in the report that there is no indication that Iran's programme has been diverted toward forbidden goals," Soltanieh said.
The UN Security council adopted a resolution in March demanding Iran to suspend its nuclear enrichment programme. Iran called the demand unlawful and unjustified and said as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) it has inalienable right to uranium enrichment for civilian uses.
Iran at the facility in Natanz is feeding 1,312 centrifuge machines, "operating simultaneously" in eight cascade arrays of 164 machines each, with the uranium gas needed to make enriched uranium, said the report by IAEA chief Mohammed ElBaradei.
Tehran could reach its goal of industrial scale production with 3,000 centrifuges running by the end of June, a senior official close to the IAEA said.
