Iran: UN report closes probe into past nuke work
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran says the IAEA’s probe into nuclear bomb work is now closed.
“All measures over the past issues have completely concluded and PMD has been left behind,” Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi says, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.
PMD stands for Possible Military Dimensions.
Araqchi says IAEA findings that show Iran did do work toward a military nuclear program before 2009 only show that the country was seeking “peaceful use” of nuclear technology.
He says a resolution accepting the findings and closing the case, thus paving the way for the implementation of the nuclear deal and the lifting of sanctions, should take place within two weeks.
He also says Iran was fully compliant with the probe, a claim disputed by the IAEA.
