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.
