Iran rejects latest IAEA report, claims it is 'not up to date'
Despite Tehran's outright rejection, the UN watchdog's report on alleged secrecy at a leading Iranian facility has once again highlighted concerns that the Islamic Republic could be inching closer to developing a nuclear bomb.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) dismissed concerns raised by the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA) over possible weapons-grade activities at an Iranian nuclear facility, and that those cascades could be used for weapons-grade enrichment.
In comments carried by the IRNA news agency, the Iranian atomic spokesman, Behrouz Kamalvandi, declared on Wednesday that the UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi appeared not to be speaking based on updated data.
"I suspect that his information is not up to date," he said.
In its latest assessment, the IAEA said its inspectors had noticed "undeclared changes" to a chain of uranium enrichment machinery at the Fordo enrichment facility, one of the most sensitive sites in Iran that has long been at the core of Tehran's nuclear standoff with the West.
