Vienna, June 17, IRNA -- Head of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohamed ElBaradei on Thursday acknowledged that the agency was in mistake in accusing Iran of withholding information about centrifuge plant for uranium enrichment. ElBaradei said that the report he delivered to Board of Governors should be corrected.
Diplomats interviewed at IAEA headquarters told IRNA that acknowledgement of the agency`s mistake indicated that Iran has been honest in cooperation with the international agency. "Absolutely, it was a win for Tehran when the agency admits mistake in Director General`s report to the Board.
It serves as a feedback for Iran to prove that it has been honest in terms of Non-Proliferation Treaty and that the report provided about Iranian nuclear program are influenced by the United States which wants to settle score with Tehran through an international agency," the diplomat said. Spokesman of Iran`s delegation to IAEA Board of Governors Hossein Mousavian said that the IAEA and its Director General Mohamed ElBaradei have accepted their mistake in their report about Iran`s nuclear program (in June).
He told IRNA that Iranian delegation provided Board of Governors with solid documents to prove that the entire system of Iranian nuclear program is for civilian purpose. "We would like to thank the agency for admitting mistake", he said. Mousavian said that admission of the mistake by the Director General has changed the negative atmosphere against Iran created by the US propaganda. "We hope the revelations will lead to a dramatic change in the draft of Board of Governors resolution", he said.
