The Islamic Republic has rejected Western media reports claiming that UN inspectors found traces of enriched uranium during sampling at a nuclear facility in Iran, calling the reports suspicious and ambiguous. News reports, citing unnamed diplomats, indicate that traces were found at the Natanz facility in central Iran, and if tests confirm this, it could mean that Tehran has enriched uranium without notifying the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Islamic Republic News Agency quotes a spokesperson stating that the Natanz facility is under IAEA supervision and safety standards are being observed. On Friday, a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department said Washington expects to receive a complete report on the test results. An IAEA spokesperson stated that it is still too early to make judgments about the findings.
