IAEA Head Says “Going around in Circles” with Iran

The IAEA and Iran are “going around in circles” after 10 failed meetings on Tehran’s nuclear program, AFP quoted head of the UN nuclear watchdog as saying Monday.

“To be frank, for some time now we have been going around in circles,” Yukiya Amano told a closed-door quarterly meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s board of governors.

“This is not the right way to address issues of such great importance to the international community, including Iran,” he said, according to the text of his speech in Vienna.

“We need to achieve concrete results without further delay to restore international confidence in the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities.”
