Islam Times - New IAEA chief: No sign Iran Seeks Nuclear Arms

The new head of the international watchdog Yukiya Amano stressed Friday that the International Atomic Agency’s documents contain no evidence to support claims that Iran is trying to gain ability to develop nuclear weapons.

"I don't see any evidence in IAEA official documents about this," Yukiya Amano told Reuters in his first direct comment on Iran's nuclear program since his election.

Amano was elected director-general the United Nations nuclear watchdog on Thursday.
With the official confirmation of his election on Thursday, the Japanese diplomat is now set to assume his post in December, succeeding Mohammed ElBaradei, who retires as director general after 12 years in office.
