Iran in row with UN

IRAN yesterday rejected criticism from the UN’s atomic watchdog that it has been delaying a probe into suspect nuclear activities.

The International Atomic Energy Agency is fine tuning a resolution that will reprimand Iran but refrain from direct threats of sanctions.

“We have no plans to produce weapons and all of our activities are for peaceful purposes and nothing is wrong,” Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said.

The IAE is mainly concerned with ambiguous, missing or withheld information on the scope of Iran’s enrichment programme, and the source of enriched uranium found inside the country.
