Iran vowed to continue enriching uranium despite a wrist slap by the UN nuclear watchdog, as US President Barack Obama warned of “consequences” Tuesday if Tehran refused to come clean on its atomic programme.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) raised suspicions on Monday that Iran could be hiding more atomic facilities and complained that it was not fully in compliance with its nuclear obligations.
It also demanded further information about the purpose of a previously secret nuclear site which when disclosed in September triggered outrage in the West.
Tehran’s envoy to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, dismissed the constant stream of IAEA reports as “repetitive and tedious” and said Iran would continue uranium enrichment.
