Summary Iran has expressed its willingness to continue talks with International Atomic Energy Organization.
Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Director Fereydoun Abbasi has said that Tehran is ready to continue talks on the issues or questions raised recently by the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA) about Iran’s nuclear programme if the agency takes a serious step to resolve dispute over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear issue.“We have asked them to submit a number of their claims and provide supporting evidence and documentation so that we examine the matter,” Abbasi said.He insisted Iran will address new questions on the condition that the IAEA takes a serious step and shows it has the authority to resolve the issue.He added, “The IAEA should change the language of its reports on Iran because the Islamic Republic sees this language as unacceptable.”Moreover, Abbasi said Iran will only examine a limited number of questions about its nuclear programme.“During our negotiations with IAEA officials, we made it clear that if talks are to be held on this issue, there should be a limit on their claims… because if new claims are put forward, certain member countries, which are opposed to our peaceful nuclear activities, will find an opportunity to raise news issues and fabricate new documents,” the nuclear chief explained.
