Recently, chief of the IAEA Yukiya Amano said he is not
optimistic about upcoming talks with Iran on getting access to the
Parchin military base in Iran.
Western states suspect Iran of using the base for atomic
weapons-related work.
"The outlook is not bright," Amano said in Tokyo.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies suspect Iran of
pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory
to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use
nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's
nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that
Iran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted to nuclear
weapons production.
