Tehran: Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called on the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to issue a report on the atomic
arsenal of the US, the Fars news agency reported.
The IAEA should release reports on the US atomic bombs concealed
in 1,000 of its military bases, Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.
The agency should report on the US atomic weapons instead of
releasing "unreal" reports on the civilian nuclear programme of
"independent" countries like Iran, he said.
Ahmadinejad said the IAEA was a tool at the hands of a number of
countries who want to control the world, according to Xinhua.
He said that "unfortunately" IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano
has "violated the agency's rules" by repeating the words of the
US, according to Fars.
The IAEA director-general has urged Iran to cooperate with the
agency to prove that its nuclear programme was for peaceful
purposes.
Iranian leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami has also said the US
was using the IAEA as a "tool against Iran".
"The US is using international organisations, including the IAEA,
as tools to pressure Iran over its nuclear programme," Khatami was
quoted as saying by Xinhua.
Recent tensions between Iran and the West over Tehran's nuclear
programme has raised concerns that the US and Israel may consider
a possible military strike on Iran's nuclear sites.
