国际英语新闻：Iran says IAEA report on its nuclear program politicized, still positive

Meanwhile, Iran's ambassador to IAEA Ali-Asghar Soltaniyeh told the Islamic Republic news agency on Monday that after seven years of constant inspections, the report once again confirmed the non- diversion of Iran's nuclear activities toward military and banned objectives.

The IAEA report reflects that Iran has been quite successful in scientific, technological and enrichment activities, and all these activities have taken place under the supervision of the agency, Soltaniyeh said.

Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), said the recent report of IAEA on Iran's nuclear program verifies that it has not diverted toward weapon grade, the local satellite Press TV reported on Tuesday.

"Like previous (IAEA) reports, the new report reiterates the non-diversion (of Iran's nuclear program)," Salehi was quoted as saying, "therefore, we believe that other issues mentioned in the report are minor."

On IAEA's claim about Iran's denial of inspecting its heavy water plant, Salehi said such an inspection is not within the framework of the safeguards agreement between Iran and the UN nuclear watchdog, said the report.

"The IAEA should tell us by which clause of the mutual agreement can it inspect the heavy water facilities. We have not found such a clause," said Salehi, adding "if they prove it, I will immediately allow inspectors to visit (the plant)."
