IAEA - Sent letter to US government

The International Atomic Energy Agency has protested to the US government over a report on Iran's nuclear programme, which it called 'outrageous' and 'dishonest'.

In a letter, the IAEA said a congressional report suggested Iran's programme was more advanced than had actually been determined. 

In the letter, the organisation said it wished to 'set the record straight on the facts'.

It added that the 23 August report by the House Intelligence Committee had made incorrect claims about the removal of a senior safeguards inspector.
