IAEA team due in Tehran for technical talks
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says a team from the United Nations nuclear watchdog is due in Tehran later in the month for technical talks.
“The IAEA and Iran have agreed to hold a technical meeting in Tehran on March 9, 2015,” the agency said in a statement on Wednesday, adding, “The IAEA delegation will be headed by Tero Varjoranta, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Safeguards.”
The last technical meeting between the two sides was held in November last year.
On Monday, the IAEA once again verified lack of any diversion toward non-peaceful purposes in Iran’s declared nuclear material.
“Concerning safeguards implementation in Iran, the agency continues to verify the non-diversion of nuclear material declared by Iran under its Safeguards Agreement,” IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano (seen below) said in an address to the agency’s Board of Governors in the Austrian capital city of Vienna.
Amano said Iran still needed to provide explanations that will enable the IAEA to clarify two outstanding practical measures.
Iran says it has granted the IAEA access to sites which the agency claims need to be investigated in order to clarify the outstanding issues.
The Islamic Republic has time and again emphasized its readiness for full cooperation with the IAEA.
Separately, Iran and the P5+1 group - Russia, China, France, Britain, the United States and Germany – are negotiating to narrow their differences over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program ahead of a July 1 deadline.
