PARIS - Iran possesses a nuclear installation it uses for military purposes and which it has concealed from the international community, the French Daily Liberation reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper based its report on information it received from an Iranian opposition group, the People’s Mujahedin, which claims that the hidden nuclear research facility was located within former army barracks at Lavizan, near Teheran.
The site reportedly took over activities formerly carried out at installations at Shiyan, which were torn down in 2003 before the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was able to inspect them.
“This centre houses military research activities of which the IAEA is not aware,” the People’s Mujahedin claim.
Responding to the claim, a spokesman for the IAEA, Mark Gwosdecki, said Wednesday in Vienna, “We do not generally comment on these kinds of reports.”
However, the IAEA generally investigates any such information, and in a report issued on Monday the organization cited the Lavizan facility.
On Monday, following intense negotiations with France, Germany and Britain, Iran said it was prepared to stop its programme of uranium enrichment, which could lead to the production of nuclear weapons.
Teheran has repeatedly claimed that it wants to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
And the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) you could pay some attention to this report too!
Ya mean Iran LIED?? After all the appeasing, bend-overy smarming the EU did, Iran took advantage??? I'm so disappointed!
