U.S. Accuses Russia of Blocking Iran Nuclear Probe
(Sinclair Broadcast Group) James Rosen - Brian Hook, the State Department's special representative for Iran, told Sinclair on Wednesday that the Kremlin has worked behind the scenes in Vienna to prevent IAEA personnel from learning whether the Iranian regime has used a site at Turquz Abad near Tehran to hide undeclared nuclear material - a charge which, if true, would place Iran in violation of its "safeguards agreements" under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, an accord Iran signed in 1970. "We call on the IAEA to fully implement its mandate to ensure that there is no undeclared nuclear material that Iran is hiding," Hook said. He noted that the IAEA has to deal with "other countries like Russia that don't always want to get to the bottom of things."
