[Vienna 9 Reuters]-The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) urged Iran to promptly answer questions over allegations of nuclear development on the 9th. According to diplomatic sources, the question includes a problem where traces of uranium were detected at a facility not declared by the IAEA.
IAEA also pointed out that Iran is moving towards uranium enrichment with a new centrifuge installed. He accused Iran of starting to implement the measures announced last week to stop fulfilling the obligations stipulated in the 2015 nuclear agreement.
According to a diplomatic source, an analysis by IAEA that brought back sample particles from an Iranian facility that Israel pointed out as a “secret nuclear development site” revealed that there were traces of uranium. There is no clear explanation about this.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu last year claimed that some radioactive material had been temporarily stored in the facility.
The IAEA has not published the details of the inspection and generally does not comment on the inspection. However, Acting Secretary General Ferutera said at the regular board meeting on the 8th that he asked Iran to improve cooperation with IAEA.
Mr. Feruta pointed out that "time is most important" at a press conference. “I think this message was very well understood,” said a meeting with Iran's foreign ministers and senior officials such as the Atomic Energy Agency.
