UN nuclear agency slams Iran’s claim that inspector tested positive for explosives
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN nuclear watchdog says it “does not agree with” Iran’s claims about one of its inspectors testing positive for traces of explosives.
The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency offers a rare statement to journalists after Iran’s representative made the claim earlier in Vienna.
The IAEA says that the “agency does not go into details in public about such matters, but based on the information available to us, the agency does not agree with Iran’s characterization of the situation involving the inspector, who was carrying out official safeguards duties in Iran.”
The IAEA adds that it will “consult with Iran with a view to clarifying the situation.”
