VIENNA (Mehr News Agency) – A UN nuclear watchdog safeguards expert said the U.S. accusations against Iranian nuclear program are a blatant violation of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the principles set by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The expert who spoke on condition of anonymity told the Mehr News Agency that according to all international treaties a specified body has been considered for confirmation of the activities of all member states and no country is allowed to create an unhealthy atmosphere against other member.

In addition, he said, a clause has been predicted in the NPT treaty in which a baseless accusation against a member is considered a breach of the NPT itself.

The IAEA board of governors opened a dialogue on Iran’s nuclear program on November 20 and 21 but it failed to reach a conclusive agreement on the wording a resolution on Iran’s nuclear program due to a clash between the board governors and the U.S. and its allies Australia, Canada.

Leveling charges against Iran without any proof by the U.S. is in fact a distance from the NPT, he noted.

The statement by the IAEA director Mohamed ElBaradei to the IAEA’s 35-nation Board of Governors, which lacked goodwill and contained some ambiguities, set the pretexts for the U.S. to make a vain attempt to haul Iranian nuclear dossier to the Untied Nations Security Council, calling a halt to Iranian nuclear enrichment program and setting deadlines for the UN nuclear watchdog to overhaul the Iranian nuclear program.

He said there were no rooms for such charges if ElBaradei’s statement contained more truths.

Commenting on ElBaradei’s statement that there is no evidence to say that Iranian nuclear programs were not for peaceful purposes, he stated that Iran has proved that it is not a threat to the world peace.

The UN nuclear agency should be tough on those countries who have not signed the NPT, the expert underlined.

The IAEA main goal is to keep away the countries from having nuclear weapons rather than depriving them from using nuclear technology, the nuclear safeguards expert argued.

A positive view of Iran’s nuclear program due to a strong support of the Tehran Declaration by a great majority of the IAEA board members and close cooperation with the IAEA by Tehran which has been cited in ElBaradei’s and IAEA inspectors would bring an end to Iran’s nuclear dossier, the expert predicted.

Iran agreed to joint the additional protocol to the NPT and suspend its nuclear enrichment program on October 21 during a visit to Tehran by the foreign ministers of Germany, France, and Britain. In return the EU Big Three states agreed to recognize a civilian use of nuclear technology by Iran and help transfer nuclear to Iran.

The European Union big three states (Germany, France and Britain) and Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) members of the board have welcomed Iran’s close cooperation with the IAEA and has withstood the U.S. insistence that Iran’s nuclear dossier should be sent to the UN Security Council for some failures.
