US energy chief urges Iran to fully dismantle nuclear program

The United States believes that Iran must completely halt its nuclear program and dismantle all uranium enrichment facilities, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said.

“Lack of transparency from Iran toward the IAEA and its nuclear escalations are unacceptable. Iran’s nuclear program, including all uranium enrichment facilities, must be fully dismantled,” Wright stated during his address at the plenary session of the 69th regular meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference in Vienna, TASS reports

He added, “Iran must fully cooperate with the IAEA in accordance with its obligations and grant inspectors access to all facilities of concern.”
