NCRI – The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) again ran into the mullahs' refusal to comply with the demand of the UN watchdog to stop uranium enrichment, according to wire services on Wednesday.
In the latest report, IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei said that for progress to be made, Iran must "clarify the extent to which information contained in the relevant documentation is factually correct and where, in its view, such information may have been modified or relates to non-nuclear purposes.
"Iran needs to provide the agency with substantive information to support its statements and provide access to relevant documentation and individuals in this regard," ElBaradei said.
"Unless Iran provides such transparency… the agency will not be able to provide credible assurances about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran."
"We had gridlock before but then at least we were talking to each other. Now it's worse. There is no communication whatsoever, no progress regarding possible military dimensions in their program," a senior U.N. official said.
"Our questions are there and they need to be addressed. There is no point in writing them again every week. We are just awaiting their response," said one senior official. "But we have a long vacuum of communication now."
