‘IAEA inspectors have given assurance they will not leak Iran’s info’

TEHRAN, Jan. 30 (MNA) – Iranian MP Hossein Naqavi said that Iran has received assurance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors who recently arrived in Iran that they would not leak information on Iranian nuclear scientists’ particulars. “When the delegation wanted to enter our country, the Islamic Republic decided to use its rights. We set conditions for the inspectors and obtained assurance from them because we had seen that inspections were carried out, and (then) our nuclear scientists were assassinated,” Naqavi, who is a member of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told on Sunday. A high-level delegation of the IAEA, headed by Herman Nackaerts, the IAEA deputy director and the head of the IAEA Department of Safeguards, arrived in Iran on Sunday and is scheduled to hold talks with Iranian officials on the issues of concern to the UN nuclear watchdog during their three-day visit. A number of Iranian officials accused IAEA inspectors of providing terrorist groups with the country’s nuclear scientists’ particulars after Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, an official at the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, was assassinated in Tehran on January 11.
