TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Residing Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali Asqar Soltaniyeh announced that Iran is continuing its peaceful nuclear activities under the supervision of the UN Agency.
Speaking to the Islamic republic news agency, Soltaniyeh said that the agency held a session on Thursday to provide technical justifications on its new reports on Iran and Syria.
He said it was made clear at the session once again that Iran's enrichment activities fall fully under supervision of the IAEA.
He stressed the need to make a distinction between the legally binding measures falling within framework or beyond the NPT and the demands being based on the UN Security Council resolution or the additional protocol.
The Iranian diplomat further said that there are no technical problems with the enrichment activities, so the information provided by some western media in connection with stopping the enrichment activities are fully baseless.
Earlier, western media reported that Iran temporarily halted most of its uranium enrichment work earlier this month and western diplomats said they believed the halt was linked to technical problems caused by Stuxnet worm.
Meantime, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi revealed on Tuesday that some western countries started attempts to disrupt activities and operations at Iran's nuclear sites and plants via malicious software known as Stuxnet a year ago.
"Since a year ago, the westerners have tried to infiltrate our country's nuclear sites to open a way for their worm (Stuxnet worm) to disrupt their activities, but the country's young experts stopped the virus exactly at those points that enemies intended to infiltrate," Salehi stated.
The Stuxnet worm is the first known malicious software of its kind unleashed by computer hackers and has opened the door to a new era of cyber-warfare.
Experts say it is designed to destroy or sabotage factories, power plants, refineries or other industrial installations.
