Visiting International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Mohamed ElBaradei said here Monday the body hoped that Iran continues to tackle its nuclear issue transparently to boost international confidence in this.
ElBaradei told the media that the IAEA is continuing to investigate whether Iran's nuclear program is peaceful or not, and that despite the progress in IAEA-Iran cooperation, much work needs to be done to resolve the nuclear issue.
The UN nuclear watchdog, in its latest report on the Iranian nuclear issue, said Iran was cooperating but also pointed out that Tehran was still pressing ahead with uranium enrichment work.
The United States and Western countries have accused Iran of developing atomic weapons under a civilian cover, but Tehran said it only wants to generate electricity.
The UN Security Council passed a resolution in December 2006, urging Iran to stop uranium enrichment and endorsing sanctions related to its nuclear program and ballistic missiles.
