Ahmadinejad criticizes IAEA over wrong report of Fukushima explosion

Ahmadinejad made the remarks on Thursday during an inauguration ceremony of a sewage water plant in Shahrerey, which is the largest one in the Middle East.

“Leaders of the hegemonic system have created the atomic energy agency and appointed some people (to the agency) as their henchmen, and the result was the issuance of a wrong report to the world about the explosion at Japan’s power plant,” he stated.

Several explosions hit different units of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, causing a radiation leak after a massive earthquake and tsunami struck Japan on March 11.

Japanese officials rejected the details of the IAEA report on the Fukushima plant, describing the nuclear radiation as being two times “as much as what was mentioned in the IAEA report,” he added.

This is the organization that issues resolutions against Iran under different pretexts, while the Islamic Republic does not intend to build nuclear bombs and has a transparent stance in this regard.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad said those countries which were creators of hegemony and slavery in the world in the past are now the so-called upholders of peace and justice.

“Greatest thieves in the history have become the supporters of fight against thievery,” he stated.
