Press Release 2005/05
Statement by the IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei on Iran
1 August 2005 | I call on Iran to continue the negotiation process with the E3/EU and not to take any action that might prejudice the process at this critical stage when the E3/EU are expected to deliver a package addressing security and political, economic and nuclear issues.
I also call on Iran not to take any unilateral action that could undermine the Agency inspection process at a time when the Agency is making steady progress in resolving outstanding issues.
Please see a communication [pdf] received today by Iran including a cover note by the IAEA Secretariat as being circulated to IAEA Member States.
