TEHRAN, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- The vice president of
Iran's atomic energy organization said on Thursday that a new report of the IAEA
on Iran's nuclear issue had proved the fact that the U.S. propaganda against
Iran was baseless, the Mehr news agency reported.
"Although the report does not meet
our expectations, it shows the U.S. propaganda against the Islamic Republic's
peaceful nuclear program is completely baseless," Mohammad Saeedi told the news
agency shortly after International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohammed
ElBaradei released a report on Iran's nuclear program.
"The report of the IAEA is not negative, and it is
very factual and adds that the Iranian nuclear program is under the supervision
of the IAEA and that there has been no deviation," Saeedi said. He stressed that
on the whole, the report presented that Iran had opened gates of its nuclear
establishment to investigators and IAEA easily.
"The investigators have been able, during this time,
to watch Iran's nuclear activities and install extra cameras in enriching
establishments for more and better surveillance," he said.
Earlier in the day, ElBaradei presented the report to
the UN Security Council, saying "Iran has continued enriching uranium despite a
UN nuclear deadline for it to suspend or face possible sanctions."
However, a senior official in Vienna close to IAEA
said Thursday that UN nuclear inspectors have found no "concrete proof" that
Iran's nuclear program is of military nature. Enditem
