Iran responded on a different note. Iran’s ambassador to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, called the inspectors’ report a vindication.

Ali Asghar Soltanieh: “Yes, this report is the best document proving that all activities of Iran have been exclusively for peaceful purposes. In this report, it says that there is no indication of diversion for military purposes, and all nuclear material has been accounted for.”
