Iran''s Failure to Provide Reasonable Explanations about Recent Uranium Traces Affects its Credibility, Says IAEA Director General

(MENAFN - Saudi Press Agency) London, May 26, 2021, SPA -- Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi said that Iran's failure to provide credible explanations for traces of uranium found at two undeclared sites is ''a big problem'' that is affecting the country's credibility. He disclosed that IAEA experts found traces of uranium that have been subject to industrial processing in different places, which had not been declared by Iran. "A return to the old Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was not feasible in the talks in Vienna," he said, adding that there is need to what he described as ''an agreement within an agreement, or an implementation roadmap'' on how to address Iran's improved nuclear strength, including its use of more advanced centrifuges than allowed under the 2015 agreement. --SPA 20:16 LOCAL TIME 17:16 GMT 0039 MENAFN26052021000078011016ID1102143898
