Iran response over undeclared site ‘not credible,’ UN nuclear agency says

Yet more on the IAEA report — the UN’s nuclear watchdog says Iran’s explanations over the presence of nuclear material at an undeclared site in the country are “not credible.”

Despite Iranian authorities providing some information about the site, “the agency informed Iran that it continues to consider Iran’s response to be not technically credible,” the watchdog says.

“A full and prompt explanation from Iran regarding the presence of uranium particles of anthropogenic origin… at a location in Iran not declared to the agency is needed,” the report said.

While the IAEA has not identified the site in question, diplomatic sources have indicated to AFP that it is in the Turquzabad district of Tehran, previously identified by Israel as an alleged site of secret atomic activity.
