“I can state that the nuclear-related commitments undertaken by Iran under the (nuclear agreement) are being implemented,” International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano said in prepared remarks during a conference in Rome, reported Hindustan Times.
An IAEA report released last month had also affirmed Iran’s compliance with the programme, which froze some of Tehran’s nuclear activities.
Iran’s stock of low-enriched uranium -- used for peaceful purposes, but when further processed for a weapon -- did not exceed the agreed limit of 300 kilos, the report said.
It added that Iran “has not pursued the construction of the Arak... reactor” -- which could give it weapons-grade plutonium -- and has not enriched uranium above low purity levels.
The landmark deal was signed in July 2015 by Iran and five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States) plus Germany.
TEHRAN, Oct. 09 (MNA) – The UN atomic agency chief on Monday affirmed Iran’s commitment to a 2015 nuclear deal, in a statement that came as US President Donald Trump said Tehran was not living up to the “spirit” of the agreement.
