Nation Offers Assurance on Its Nuclear Program

The head of Iran's atomic energy program said the Islamic Republic planned to allay international concerns about its nuclear program, which Washington says may be used to produce bombs.

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, in June cited a number of failures by Tehran in reporting its nuclear activities.

"I believe that we will remove the international concerns," said Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the chief of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization. He said IAEA inspectors had just concluded a number of inspections in Iran.
