The UN atomic watchdog
confirmed its chief headed last
Wednesday to Tehran for talks on a stalled nuclear bomb probe, a key sticking
point in talks between Iran and major powers.
The aim of International Atomic Energy Agency head Yukiya Amano’s talks on Thursday is to 'accelerate the resolution of all outstanding issues related to Iran’s nuclear program, including clarification of possible military dimensions', the IAEA said.
The IAEA keeps close tabs on Iran’s declared nuclear activities, making sure that all nuclear material is accounted for and that its facilities are being used for exclusively peaceful purposes.

At the same time , in an
interview with INTV , Alireza
Jafarzadeh, President of the Washington-based Strategic Policy Consulting Inc.
and spokesperson for the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI ), said: “Iranian regime did not answer to any
of the IAEA’s questions regarding evidence nuclear bomb making activities.”
Q: What important aspects
does the latest IAEA report handed over to the UN Security Council, specify?
Jafarzadeh: This report
points out four important issues, which are all in criticizing tone. They also
reveal the Iranian regime’s defiance to international obligations.
1- First of all the regime has increased its enriched uranium in the Natanz site, first revealed by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in 2002. It is holding 2.5 tons of enriched uranium, which if is enriched in high grade, is enough for two nuclear bombs.
2- By use of a chain centrifuge cascade in the training site of Natanz, they have enriched a noticeable amount of uranium up to 20%, which brings it closer to building a nuclear bomb.
3- A number of equipment and chemical substances that Tehran claimed were only used for a series of scientific experiments have been relocated and kept away from the eyes of IAEA agents. Tehran is not answering any questions in this regard, where these equipments are and what are they conducting? The sensitivity of this issue lies in the fact that these equipments are used for uranium rod precision to convert them into nuclear bomb material.
4- None of the IAEA’s questions regarding evidence that could have shown Tehran is involved in bomb-making activities have been answered. Also, numerous questions remain unanswered regarding sites in Natanz, Qom, and others, all described in full detail in IAEA’s recent report.

Q: Mr. Jafarzadeh, describe
the importance of this report in the current situation and its effects on the
Iranian regime in the international scene?
Jafarzadeh: All the facts
stated in the IAEA report are against the Iranian regime’s obligations
regarding the UNSC resolutions. In short, this report is one of the strongest
IAEA reports so far regarding the Iranian regime’s nuclear program.
Well, this report is issued at a time that a strong draft resolution on the Iranian regime’s nuclear program is on the table in the UNSC and on the other hand, Tehran is trying to use other countries as mediators and also come up with new deceitful deals to swap low-enriched uranium for high-enriched uranium. All these efforts are intended to deprive the international community in taking a strong, unified stance against the Iranian regime.
Therefore, in this period of time, this resolution is acting as a sledgehammer on the mullahs, seriously isolating it internationally and degrades Tehran’s stance against the UNSC.
On the other hand, this proves the Iranian resistance stance that from the very beginning foresaw step by step the goals and ambitions of the mullahs and revealed them with accurate information
