MAGATE isn’t able to confirm the exclusively peaceful character of
the Iranian nuclear program, Mohamed al Baradei, head of MAGATE,
stated. Making annual report at the UN General Council, he expressed
concern that Iran didn’t stop the concentration of uranium and
doesn’t make its nuclear program more transparent. At the same time,
he expressed hope that the issue will be settled diplomatically.

As for the nuclear test carried out by the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea, he said it was another issue that arouses concern. Baradei
stated that North Korea should return to multi lateral negotiations
around its nuclear program.

According to Interfax agency, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
stated that his country will take resolute measures if UN conducts any
punishment measures against Iran. At present the bill that envisages
punishment measures against the nuclear program of Iran is being
discussed at the UN. The Russian media informed that RF president
Vladimir Putin assured Ahmadinejad in the telephone conversation
that Russia is for continuing the negotiations for the Iranian
nuclear program.
