The last seals on Iran's uranium conversion facilities in the central city Isfahan were removed by UN nuclear watchdog inspectors Wednesday afternoon, marking a complete unsealing of the sensitive nuclear site, state television reported.

"The last of the seals have been removed," Gholamreza Aghazadeh, head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization was quoted as saying.

The remove marked a complete unsealing of the sensitive nuclear site, paving the way for Iran to fully resume its uranium conversion activities, which it started on Monday after the inspectors finished installing supervisory equipment on the facilities.

Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that all seals on the facilities have been removed.

Tehran's resumption was a rejective reaction to a comprehensive nuclear proposal presented by the European trio of Britain, France and Germany, the longtime brokers of the Iranian nuclear issue for nearly two years.

Iran has said that the resumption of uranium conversion activities should not be viewed as a move to close the door to the negotiations with the European Union.

The IAEA on Tuesday opened an emergency Board of Governors meeting to discuss the current Iranian nuclear standoff.

The United States accuses Iran of developing nuclear weapons under the disguise of civil usage. But Tehran has rejected the accusation and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
