IAEA statement rejects Netanyahu's allegations against Iran

TEHRAN, May 01 (MNA) – The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009, according to IAEA spokesman's statement on May 1.

After Benjamin Netanyahu's propaganda show against Iran last night, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has just released a statement, delaing a blow to the Israeli regime's prime minister. 

According to the IAEA spoekesman, in December 2015, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano presented the Final Assessment on past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear programme to the IAEA Board of Governors.

The statement went on to add that in the above-mentioned report, the Agency assessed that, before the end of 2003, an organizational structure was in place in Iran suitable for the coordination of a range of activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device. Although some activities took place after 2003, they were not part of a coordinated effort. The Agency’s overall assessment was that a range of activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device were conducted in Iran prior to the end of 2003 as a coordinated effort, and some activities took place after 2003. The Agency also assessed that these activities did not advance beyond feasibility and scientific studies, and the acquisition of certain relevant technical competences and capabilities. The same report stated that the Agency had no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009. Based on the Director General’s report, the Board of Governors declared that its consideration of this issue was closed.

The IAEA spoekesman concluded tthat in line with standard IAEA practice, the IAEA evaluates all safeguards-relevant information available to it. However, it is not the practice of the IAEA to publicly discuss issues related to any such information.
