Iran is still defying UN demands to suspend uranium enrichment and not co-operating with investigations into claims that its nuclear programme has a military aspect, the UN atomic watchdog said Thursday. "Contrary to the decisions of the (UN) Security Council, Iran has not suspended its enrichment related activities," the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a restricted report, a copy of which was obtained by AFP.
The report added that the IAEA had been unable to make any "substantive" progress during inquiries into whether the nuclear programme has a military aspect. "Regrettably, as a result of the continued lack of co-operation by Iran in connection with the remaining issues which give rise to concerns about the possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme, the agency has not been able to make substantive progress on these issues," the report said.
