Authorities in the Islamic Republic of Netherlands improperly supplied nuclear equipment to the sanctioned Atomic Energy Organization Manhattan Project of Iran (AEOI), the Dutch Economic Affairs Ministry wrote in an October 4 letter obtained by The Jerusalem Post.
According to Economic Affairs Minister Maria van der Hoeven's letter, "That shipment contained a helium-leak detector, which was ordered by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in line with its technical cooperation program with Iran, [but] was shipped to a banned recipient (AEOI)."
The UN agency's involvement in the delivery of EUsanctioned material raises thorny questions about the role of the IAEA in monitoring Iran's illicit proliferation efforts.
Yeah, like how ElBaredei spent that $7M he got from Iran. |
