The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said the United Nations nuclear watchdog had no evidence pointing to Iran’s underway development of a nuclear weapon.

According to The Iran Project, Rafael Grossi made the remarks on Wednesday on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The remarks verified the nuclear body’s record of invariably verifying non-diversion and peaceful nature of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program.

Grossi, however, reiterated the body’s apparently-Western-driven propaganda claiming that the country had accumulated a vast amount of enriched uranium, which was "very, very close" to weapon-grade.

The allegations, however, run directly counter to Iran’s insistence of implementing its doctrine of non-pursuance of non-conventional arms as per religious concerns and a relevant fatwa (religious decree) issued by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

In December, the country’s security chief asserted that the Islamic Republic’s nuclear doctrine of pursuing peaceful energy and opposing pursuance of atomic weapons had remained “unchanged.”
