Saudi Arabia has affirmed its support and appreciation for the efforts of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and its inspectors' professionalism and high level of transparency. Prince Abdullah Bin Khalid Bin Sultan, ambassador to Austria and the Kingdom's permanent representative to the United Nations and International Organizations in Vienna, made these statements during the special session of the IAEA Board of Governors on Thursday. The session was held Thursday concerning the Implementation of the Safeguards Agreement under the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Additional Protocol in Iran. He indicated that the deputy director general's briefing on Iran dealt with its delay in providing adequate information consistent with the results of testing samples taken by the IAEA from an undisclosed site where nuclear materials were detected and this site has been cleared before being visited by the IAEA inspectors without providing any logical explanations identical to the analysis and testing of the samples during the last 11 months. Prince Abdullah expressed the Kingdom's condemnation of Iran's ongoing pursuit of this approach, and stated the Iranian regime's history is full of deception and evasion, including the concealment of sensitive parts of its nuclear program, which undoubtedly confirms Iran's non-peaceful program and Tehran's ambition to possess nuclear weapons. He also expressed the Kingdom's happiness at the arrival of the detained inspector in Iran to the IAEA headquarters in Vienna, noting that the complacency in taking deterrent measures and actions against Iran for its actions against persons enjoying privileges and immunities being guaranteed to them by international treaties inside the Iranian territory, will encourage its regime to repeat them in the future, especially in light of its record of such violations and lack of respect for international conventions and norms. He also stressed the need to call on Iran to fully cooperate without delay with the IAEA in providing the information required, and to respect the immunities and privileges of IAEA inspectors, in addition to providing the appropriate conditions for them to do their work properly. He also called on the agency to intensify verification and monitoring efforts in Iran in order to unveil more information concerning its nuclear activities, and any other undeclared sites that Iran is likely to use in this regard, especially in light of hostile policies towards the countries of the region and the world at large, and its tendency towards expansion and domination. — SPA
