UN nuclear watchdog chief is 'fully aware of peaceful nature' of Iran nuclear programme - state media

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, is "fully aware of the peaceful nature" of Iran's nuclear programme, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson said on Thursday, according to state media.

Esmaeil Baghaei's comment came a day after Grossi said movement had been detected near Iran's enriched uranium stockpile but that this did "not imply that there is activity on enrichment".
