Mohammad ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), stated that Iran's cooperation with this UN-affiliated body has not been satisfactory, and the issue of whether Iran has fully disclosed all its uranium enrichment activities in previous reports remains unresolved. In an interview with reporters in Vienna, the IAEA headquarters, Mr. ElBaradei emphasized that this matter needs to be resolved in the coming months. These comments come as a week-long meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors has opened in Vienna to review Iran's cooperation in reporting on nuclear activities taking place in the country. Participants in the Vienna meeting are discussing a draft resolution proposed by France, Germany, and the UK, which calls on Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program and the establishment of a heavy-water reactor that could produce plutonium suitable for making nuclear bombs. Iran has consistently insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
