US, allies criticise Iran’s response to UN nuclear watchdog report

THE United States issued a joint statement with France, the United Kingdom and Germany yesterday criticising Iran’s “inadequate” response to an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on its nuclear programme.

The United Nations nuclear watchdog issued a warning to Tehran on Wednesday after it found that changes had been made without prior notification at the Fordo Fuel Enrichment Plant to equipment that can enrich uranium to up to 60%.
