The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog said in remarks published on Wednesday that Iran was “on the wrong side of the law” by not declaring its second uranium enrichment plant when construction began.
His comments came a day before crucial talks with Iran in Geneva amid growing concern about the covert build-up of its nuclear programme, with world leaders seeking guarantees that Tehran’s nuclear plans are only peaceful.
“Iran has been on the wrong side of the law in so far as the IAEA regulation to inform the agency at an earlier date,” Mohamed ElBaradei, director of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, told Indian TV channel CNN-IBN.
