/PanARMENIAN.Net/ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has
rejected a report that it conceals a document proving that Iran
is secretly developing atomic weapons and delivery vehicles. "The
IAEA has no concrete evidence that the Islamic republic had or has
a secret program to develop nuclear weapons," the representative of
the agency said.

Earlier, APdisseminated a release that IAEA’s experts are certain that
Iran already has the means to build a nuclear bomb and is currently
developing rocket carriers. AP recalled a secret document of IAEA. This
document is the clearest evidence that IAEA members share the views
of the U.S. in respect to Tehran’s atomic capabilities. Perhaps this
document is an appendix to the report, which, according to Washington,
deliberately withheld by the IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei. It
allegedly says that IAEA has "sufficient evidence" of Iran’s ability
to build an atomic bomb and overcome difficulties of elaboration of
delivery vehicles fitted with nuclear warheads.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an interview
with NBC U.S. television said that Iran does not want atomic
weapons. "There’s no need. The events in the world are developing in
our expected scenario. Roll-out by Iran its nuclear program may not
be a matter of discussion", Ahmadinejad said.

On October 1, five countries, permanent members of UN Security Council
and Germany intend to discuss with Iran its nuclear program. The
representative of Iran to the IAEA Ali Ashgar Soltanieh called this
meeting a great chance. According to him, the Iranian nation has
opened the door, and the West should immediately take advantage of it.
