Iran again insisted to a nuclear debate at the UN General Assembly however that it is only working on civilian energy.AIR correspondent Dhirendra Ojha areports from Dubai that in September, The IAEA director General voiced regret over Iran’s decision to bar two key nuclear inspectors, saying the move hinders the Agency’s investigation into the country’s nuclear programme. UN says that Iran’s nuclear programme has been a matter of international concern since the discovery in 2003 that the country had concealed its nuclear activities for 18 years in breach of its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).Iranian officials have stated that its programme is aimed at peaceful purposes, but some other countries contend that it is driven by military ambitions. The UN Security Council has imposed 4 rounds of sanctions against Iran since 2006, the most recent being in June, citing the proliferation risks posed by its nuclear programme and its continued failure to cooperate with the IAEA. Iran’s deputy ambassador to UN said that his country is determined to exercise its right to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. He however added that Iran is ready to start new talks with the six international powers — Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.
