UN, IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS 'GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES' – UN OFFICIALNew
York, Jun 3 2013 2:00PMDiscussions between the United Nations and
Iran on clarifying outstanding issues related to the country's nuclear
programme are "going around in circles," the head of the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported today

"Despite the intensified dialogue between the Agency and Iran since
January 2012, during which time 10 rounds of talks have been held, no
agreement has been reached," Director General Yukiya Amano
<"http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/statements/2013/amsp2013n11.html">told
the Agency's Board of Governors at a
<"http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/2013/bog030613.html">meeting in
Vienna.

"To be frank, for some time now, we have been going around in circles.
This is not the right way to address issues of such great importance
to the international community, including Iran," he stated.

Mr. Amano said Iran is not providing the necessary cooperation to
enable the IAEA to provide credible assurance about the absence of
undeclared nuclear material and activities. "The Agency therefore
cannot conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful
activities," he said.

"Iran continues to advance its heavy water-related projects. The
number of centrifuges installed by Iran also continues to increase, as
does the amount of enriched uranium it holds," he continued. "These
activities are in clear contravention of resolutions adopted by the
Board of Governors and the United Nations Security Council."

Iran's nuclear programme – which its officials have stated is for
peaceful purposes, but some other countries contend is driven by
military ambitions – has been a matter of international concern since
the discovery in 2003 that the country had concealed its nuclear
activities for 18 years in breach of its obligations under the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

The IAEA has been engaged with Tehran on a structured approach to
resolving all outstanding issues. Mr. Amano reported that no agreement
has been reached so far on the structured approach document.

"We need to achieve concrete results without further delay to restore
international confidence in the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear
activities," he stated. "In order to achieve that objective, the
Agency has made clear its view of the elements which the structured
approach should contain.

"First and foremost, Iran has to address the Agency's requirement to
conduct effective verification. Unless Iran does so, it will not be
possible for the Agency to resolve outstanding issues, including those
relating to possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme."

He called on Iran to engage with the Agency to achieve concrete
results in resolving all outstanding issues "with a sense of urgency."

Mr. Amano also told the 35-nation Board that he remains concerned
about the situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
(DPRK), particularly since its announcement of a third test of a
nuclear weapon in February.

"Once again, I strongly urge the DPRK to fully implement all relevant
resolutions of the Security Council, the IAEA General Conference and
the Board of Governors," said Mr. Amano.

"I reiterate my call for the DPRK to fully comply with the NPT and to
cooperate promptly and fully with the Agency. The IAEA remains ready
to contribute to the peaceful resolution of this issue by resuming its
nuclear verification activities once political agreement is reached
among the countries concerned."

The Board of Governors, one of the Agency's main policy-making bodies,
meets five times a year at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna. It is
meeting to discuss the IAEA's work on nuclear verification, safety,
security and the peaceful use of nuclear technologies.Jun 3 2013
