(ANSA-AFP) - WASHINGTON, FEB 4 - The United States issued a
joint statement with France, the United Kingdom and Germany on
Friday criticizing Iran's "inadequate" response to an
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on its nuclear
program. The UN nuclear watchdog issued a warning to Tehran on
Wednesday after it found that changes had been made without
prior notification at the Fordo Fuel Enrichment Plant to
equipment that can enrich uranium to up to 60 percent. Iran
claimed that an IAEA inspector had accidentally flagged the
changes as being undeclared, and that the matter was later
resolved. "Iranian claims that this action was carried out in
error are inadequate," the joint statement said. "We judge
Iran's actions based on the impartial and objective reports of
the IAEA, not Iran's purported intent." (ANSA-AFP).
