UN, Iran form plan to show nuclear program peaceful
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran
Representatives of the UN nuclear watchdog have left Iran after reaching "total agreement" on measures to prove the country's nuclear program is peaceful, Iran's representative to the IAEA said Saturday.
Ali Akbar Salehi said the International Atomic Energy Agency delegation left Tehran on Friday "with complete satisfaction."
"The two sides reached total agreement and approved a plan of action on the basis of which we will work together on a timetable to achieve the expected results," Salehi told The Associated Press.
The IAEA has set an Oct. 31 deadline for Iran to prove it is not producing nuclear weapons - as the United States strongly suspects. Iran has protested the deadline and said its nuclear program is to generate electricity as its oil reserves decline.
Pierre Goldschmidt, an IAEA deputy director general, and another top official from the Vienna-based agency held two days of talks in Tehran.
Salehi said Iran agreed to provide the IAEA with a list of imported equipment that had been contaminated.
"The train has started to move and we have agreed to push the train to move faster," Salehi said.
In recent weeks Iran has twice confirmed that particles of weapons-grade uranium had been found in separate places in the country. The government said the particles came from imported nuclear equipment that had been contaminated.
Iran has not said whether it will respect the Oct. 31 deadline.
"The Oct. 31 deadline is not the plan of action for us," Salehi said. "The important thing is that we've reached agreements to work together and there was a breakthrough in the talks."
He said Iran has already addressed some of the IAEA's questions about its nuclear program and would respond to new questions "in the shortest possible time."
He did not elaborate.
He said an IAEA inspection team has arrived in Tehran to carry out routine inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities.
It is really good to see the U.N. and Iran in total agreement. It's amazing how often those two can agree on everything.[/sarcasm]
The U.N. is a joke that should be put out of our misery.
Wait a minute, today is not April 1st!
