VIENNA (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear
watchdog chief is “positively considering” a U.S. Senate invitation to
speak about his agency’s monitoring role in Iran following the country’s
deal with world powers on curbing its atomic activity, a diplomatic
source said.
Some members of the U.S. Congress, which will consider
whether to approve the deal, have asked for more information to be made
public relating to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s part in
verifying Iran’s implementation of the pact.
“I understand that Director General (Yukiya) Amano
overnight (Vienna time) received an invitation letter from the members
of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I also understand that
he is positively considering the invitation,” the source, who is
familiar with the matter, told Reuters.
Amano has the delicate task to assess Iran’s past and
future nuclear programme. He has no political mandate and never tires of
stressing the IAEA’s technical role.
