TEHRAN - Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman Alaeddin Boroujerdi has said that International Atomic Energy Agency Secretary General Yukiya Amano should amend his latest report about Iran’s nuclear program before delivering it to the IAEA Board of Governors.

“The agency’s approach… has become more politicized and the report has been written under pressure from the United States,” Boroujerdi told the Mehr News Agency on Sunday.
Amano should correct his report before delivering it to the IAEA Board of Governors on March 1, the MP stated.
Although Iran notified the IAEA before it began enriching uranium to the 20 percent level and asked the agency to send inspectors to monitor the enrichment process, Amano said in his report that Iran started enriching nuclear fuel without informing the agency, Boroujerdi noted.
This will undermine the credibility of the agency’s reports, he added.
Political analyst Morad Enadi said here on Sunday that the most important part of Amano’s report is that it says there is no deviation in Iran’s nuclear energy program from civilian purposes.
“Amano’s report contained many positive points. For instance, he emphasized that the agency’s inspectors conducted 35 snap inspections of Iran’s facilities over the past three years,” Enadi told the Mehr News Agency on Sunday.
Amano is moving on the same path as former IAEA secretary general Mohamed ElBaradei, but because Iran had just started the enrichment of uranium to the 20 percent level and certain Western countries politicized the issue, the end of the report was critical, he said.
In a report issued on Thursday, the UN nuclear watchdog claimed that it has concerns that Iran may be working to develop a nuclear-armed missile.
Iran says that its nuclear activities are being conducted to meet the country’s growing demand for energy and the IAEA has never found evidence that its nuclear program has been diverted to weapons production.
MP Hojjatoleslam Hossein Ebrahimi said that no one should expect the IAEA to issue reports different from Amano’s latest report about Iran’s nuclear program because the agency is dominated by the U.S.
Thus, Iran should press ahead with its peaceful nuclear activities because the agency will never change its approach, Ebrahimi told the Mehr News Agency on Sunday
