IAEA: Iran implements commitments under JCPOA

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran continues to fully implement its commitments under the JCPOA, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said at a board meeting in Vienna.

Amano told board members that Iran continued to abide by the deal reached in 2015 with major world powers that aimed at preventing Tehran from building atomic weapons in exchange for economic incentives.

The IAEA Director General reiterated the agency's findings in a report distributed to member states earlier this month that "Iran is implementing its nuclear-related commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action."

He stressed that "it is essential that Iran continues to fully implement" its commitments.

In its full report, the IAEA said its inspectors continued to have access to all sites in Iran that it needed to visit and that inspectors confirmed Iran has kept within limits of heavy water and low-enriched uranium stockpiles.

"The agency continues to verify the non-diversion of nuclear material declared by Iran under its safeguards agreement. Evaluations regarding the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran continue," Associated Press cited Amano as saying.
