The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) states that for Tehran to prove that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and that it does not intend to produce prohibited weapons as the United States claims, Iran's cooperation with the agency is sensitive and important. Mohamed ElBaradei believes that Iran understands the importance of cooperating with international atomic energy inspectors. The international atomic energy inspectors will return to Iran on March 27, two weeks later than the scheduled date. Following criticism from the IAEA resolution regarding Iran's concealment of sensitive nuclear technology, Iran delayed the inspectors' return. Adam Ereli, spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, described this delay by Iran as a continuation of Iran's deceptive practices.
