ElBaradei: IAEA Will Cite Iran for Further Violations

The International Atomic Energy Agency is expected this month to cite Iran for additional violations of its nuclear safeguards agreement, Agence France-Presse reported (see GSN, Nov. 4).

“We reported breaches in the past and there will be new ones in this upcoming report,” said IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei said, according to his spokesman Mark Gwozdecky. The agency’s Board of Governors is scheduled to meet later this month.

Iran’s ambassador to the IAEA, Ali Akbar Salehi, said last week that Tehran’s recent report to the agency would reveal “what could be considered failures” to adhere to safeguards required by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. These would be “in the same line” as earlier failures cited by agency officials, Salehi said (Agence France-Presse/Dawn, Nov. 5).
