IAEA: No Big Change in Iran Nuclear Work under Rouhani
(Reuters) Fredrik Dahl - The head of the UN nuclear agency said on Wednesday he saw "no radical change" in Iran's nuclear program in the past three months, roughly since President Hassan Rouhani replaced his combative predecessor. "I can say that enrichment activities are ongoing...no radical change is reported to me," said Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in Vienna. Asked whether Iran was continuing the higher-grade enrichment work, Amano said: "That's right." The IAEA still wants access to the Parchin military base southeast of Tehran, where it believes nuclear-related explosives tests may have taken place a decade ago, as part of future steps under Monday's agreement to allow access to two other nuclear-related facilities. "We would like to visit Parchin as soon as possible," Amano said.
