UN Nuclear Chief, Facing Israeli Criticism on Iran, Says His Agency 'Very Fair but Firm'
The International Atomic Energy Agency will “never politicize” its work in Iran, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog said Monday, insisting after Israel’s prime minister accused it of capitulating to Iranian pressure that his agency has been “very fair but firm." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments came after a confidential report from the IAEA last week said that its investigators had closed off their investigation of traces of man-made uranium found at Marivan, near the city of Abadeh, about 525 kilometers (325 miles) southeast of Tehran.
