[Ynet] In unusual move, ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency says in response to question it has no sign of any kaboom at one of Iran's most sensitive nuclear plants
The UN atomic watchdog made clear on Tuesday it had seen no sign of any kaboom at one of Iran's most sensitive nuclear plants, backing up Tehran's denial that such an incident had taken place last week.
The ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in an unusual move, made a brief statement following media reports at the weekend of significant damage at the underground Fordo uranium enrichment site.
IAEA inspectors regularly visit Iranian nuclear sites, including the one at Fordo, and the UN agency suggested in its comment that they had been at the site after the reports in some Israeli and Western media of an kaboom there.
"We understand that Iran has denied that there has been an incident at Fordo. This is consistent with our observations," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor said in an emailed comment in response to a question. |
