The IAEA Director Yukiya Amano said today that the UN nuclear agency
has made no progress in a yearlong push to find out if Iran worked on
developing a nuclear weapon at the suspected Parchin site. Amano urged Iran to
allow UN inspectors to resume their inquiry after several meetings between Iran
and the agency since January failed to achieve a breakthrough. The two sides
are scheduled to meet again in mid-December.
“Now is the time for all of us to work with a sense of urgency and
seize the opportunity for a diplomatic solution,” Amano told its 35-nation
governing board. “I am unable to report any progress on clarifying the issues
relating to possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program,” he added.

Amano expressed concern that suspected cleanup work at at Parchin would
seriously undermine the agency's investigation, if and when it was allowed to
visit the sprawling facility.
“Satellite imagery shows that extensive activities, including the
removal and replacement of considerable quantities of earth, have taken place
at this location,” Amano said.
