Jennifer Luketa, the US representative to the UN Security Council, criticized the Islamic Republic's non-cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency on Tuesday, November 5, and announced that this situation is unacceptable and that refusing to answer the agency's questions, denying access to inspectors and lack of transparency regarding Iran's uranium reserves is enough.
The United States' representative to the UN Security Council said: "The Islamic Republic has delayed IAEA access to its most sensitive nuclear facilities for more than a year and refused to provide information and provide access to highly enriched uranium stockpiles."
Lokta added that Tehran also did not respond to IAEA questions about undeclared nuclear material and undeclared locations and limited inspectors' access to some nuclear facilities. He welcomed the decision of the IAEA Board of Governors to refer the issue of Iran's non-compliance with its defense obligations to the Security Council and thanked Germany, France, Great Britain and 13 other members of the Board of Governors for their support in this action.
