An Iranian nuclear official said on Friday that the UN atomic agency's report on Iran submitted to the UN Security Council doesn't contain any negative points.

"This report doesn't have any negative points," Mohammed Saeedi, the deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, told the state television from Vienna by phone.

"This shows the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is capable to survey Iran's nuclear program, some countries want to solve the issue in another place (the UN Security Council), it's totally wrong," Saeedi said.

"If the nuclear case remains in the IAEA, Iran still want to cooperate with the agency, and is ready to work with the inspectors in the coming weeks," he added.

Mohamed ElBaradei, chief of the IAEA, submitted a report on Friday to the UN Security Council, saying Iran had ignored the Council's non-binding demand to suspend all uranium enrichment by the Friday deadline.

Shortly before the deadline expired, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed not to give up right to peaceful use of nuclear technology in spite of possible UN sanctions.

The foreign ministers of five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China -- plus Germany are scheduled to meet in New York on May 9 to discuss response to ElBaradei's report, according to a U.S. state department spokesman.

Washington is urging the UN Security Council to take measures against Iran for pressing ahead with enrichment program which could be used to build an atomic bomb.

But Iran denied seeking to develop nuclear weapons, saying its nuclear program is for fully peaceful purposes.
