Vienna : International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Director General Mohammed El-Baradei’s visit to Iran at the end of this week will focus on issues regarding the Iranian nuclear file.
IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said in a statement Monday El-Baradei would visit Tehran on January 11-12, where he would focus on several points regarding Tehran’s nuclear program.
El-Baradei had affirmed that Iran would not pose threat to the international community due to the continuation of its nuclear program.
However, the director indicated that Iran must answer questions regarding its nuclear activities in accordance with the IAEA-Tehran agreement signed last summer.
The upcoming two months are going to be very decisive, El-Baradei stated, adding that if Iran cooperate with IAEA then the agency would have to announce the peaceful propose of the program to the world.
An IAEA report lauded Iran’s uncovering of its nuclear activities back in November, but warned Iran from continuing uranium enrichment operations.
El-Baradei stated in the report that IAEA was allowed to meet with specific Iranian officials running the country’s nuclear program, but the cooperation was limited to answering questions and did not progress further on.
The report did not satisfy the U.S. which called that for more international sanctions on Iran through the United Nations’ Security Council (UNSC) if Tehran did not fully reveal the purpose of its nuclear program to the world.
