TEHRAN – Iran’s representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency Reza Najafi said on Friday that the IAEA will announce its final assessment about Iran’s nuclear program by December 1-2.

On the new report issued by the IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano on Wednesday, Najafi said that there are some “unnecessary” details in the report.

The report says that Iran has disconnected almost a quarter of its uranium-enriching centrifuges in less than a month.

“They have been dismantling centrifuges that did not contain hexafluoride,” the senior diplomat said, referring to uranium hexafluoride, the feedstock for centrifuges.

“Dismantling centrifuges that have or have had hexafluoride is a much more complicated thing than the clean ones.”

Najafi said that the new report indicates that all the Iran’s nuclear activities have been under inspection of the IAEA and have not diverted from the peaceful purposes.
