Reza Najafi, the Iranian ambassador to the IAEA, told IRNA on Saturday that the confidential texts between Iran and the IAEA have not even been providedto the US government andcan certainlynot be given to the Senate either.
Definitely, the agreements between a country and the [UN] agency, which are classified, can by no means be presented to any other country, Najafi said.
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano is set to travel to Washington next week to meet with members of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to speak about the agencys role in verifying and monitoring nuclear-related measures in Iran.
On July 14, Iran and the IAEA signed a roadmap in the Austrian city of Viennafor the clarification of past and present issues regarding Irans nuclear program.
After signing the agreement, Amano said the roadmap sets out a clear sequence of activities over the coming months, including the provision by Iran of explanations regarding outstanding issues.
He added that the roadmap enables the IAEA to issue a report setting out the agency's final assessment of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program, for the action of the IAEA Board of Governors, by 15 December 2015.
