US accuses Iran of secret Nuke plan
The US has repeated claims that Iran has a clandestine military nuclear program, despite reports by international observers confirming no deviations in its nuclear activity.
On Tuesday, the Islamic Republic began injecting fuel into the core of its first nuclear power plant in the southern port city of Bushehr, just after fuel assemblies were transferred to the facility under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Hours later, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged that “What they (Iranians) are doing is starting a reactor that is, based on everything we know about it and everything that the Russians have informed us about it since they have worked with the Iranians over many years to build this reactor, strictly for peaceful purposes.”
Clinton, however, went on to accuse Tehran of carrying out clandestine nuclear activities elsewhere with non-civilian objectives.
“Our problem is with their (Iranian) facilities at places like Natanz, and their secret facility at Qom and other places where we believe they are conducting their weapons program,” she claimed.
The allegation comes nearly a month after an IAEA report in which the agency reiterated for the 22nd time that all the nuclear materials in the Isfahan and Natanz facilities are under the agency’s supervision and are sealed and observed by its security cameras and observers.
“The nuclear material at FEP (including the feed, product and tails), as well as all installed cascades and feed and withdrawal stations, are subject to Agency containment and surveillance,” reads the sixth paragraph of the IAEA’s report submitted to UN Security Council’s board of governors on September 6.
The latest US allegations come after the European Union’s proposal for a three-day round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 countries — Russia, China, France, Britain and the US plus Germany — over Tehran’s nuclear program to be held in mid-November in Vienna.
Tehran welcomed the new negotiation offer and expressed hope that Tehran and the P5+1 would come to an agreement on the date, place and the content of the proposed talks.
Iranian officials have repeatedly refuted undocumented and perceptive US allegations about its nuclear program, reiterating that Tehran has always been interested in the peaceful applications of nuclear energy.
