U.N. nuclear officials conceded failure on Tuesday after an extraordinary two-day visit to Iran yielded no progress in clearing up allegations about the country’s pursuit of nuclear weapons technology.
Iran’s top leader again said his country has no intention of producing a nuclear weapon.
But the IAEA officials were barred from visiting a key testing facility known as Parchin, where some of the research was alleged to have occurred.
Intensive efforts were made to reach agreement on a document facilitating the clarification of unresolved issues in connection with Iran’s nuclear program, particularly those relating to possible military dimensions.Unfortunately, agreement was not reached on this document.
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano called the visit’s outcome disappointing.
