The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Chief Mohamed El Baradei says the Agency has reached a dead end in verifying the nature and objective of Iran's nuclear programme. Mr El Baradei told the 35-member board meeting of the IAEA that there has been no movement on remaining issues of concern which needs to be clarified to verify the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme. Iran has stated that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, but other European nations, including France and the United Kingdom, believe that Tehran is out to build a nuclear bomb in violations of its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Mr El Baradei stressed that he was disappointed that Iran had not accepted the plan supported by West for sending abroad its low-enriched nuclear fuel to be processed and turned into fuel that could be used in reactor to produce medical isotopes.Iran’s envoy to IAEA Ali Asghar Soltanieh has said that Iran will reduce co-operation with the IAEA to a minimum if the UN atomic watchdog passes a resolution condemning its nuclear program. According to Iranian news agency ILNA he said this on the eve of an important meeting of IAEA board of governors. IAEA Governors have reportedly passed a new resolution against Iran today over a nascent enrichment facility outside Tehran, which was fully inspected and cleared by UN nuclear officials in October. The resolution condemns Iran for developing a uranium enrichment site in secret. It is the first against Iran in nearly four years by a 25-3 margin with six abstentions. Press TV says that the resolution also calls on Iran to immediately halt construction of the Fordo enrichment plant, which lies 160 kilometers south of Tehran. It also urges Iran to clarify an original purpose and also to confirm it has no more hidden nuclear plants and no intentions whatsoever to build some.
