International Atomic Energy Agency's Mohamed ElBaradei has faced disagreements from his technical staff as he is to declare Iran's major nuclear issues as resolved."There's a concern that most of the big issues are going to be declared as resolved," a Western diplomat familiar with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) issues told AFP on Monday.
"I've heard that some of his [ElBaradei's] technical staff are not happy," as they are feeling that the issues 'are anything but [resolved],' he added.
Disagreements between International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei and his technical staff could delay releasing the report on Iran, say diplomats. ElBaradei had hoped to wrap up consultations with the technical team -- on which he bases his report -- by the end of this week, but that deadline appears to have been extended into next week, noted the diplomat.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has not announced a publication date, but sources close to the Vienna-based watchdog expected it to come out around February 20. The International Atomic Energy Agency 's board of governors will meet on March 3-7 to discuss the report which would be further reviewed by the UN Security Council. ElBaradei's previous report in November declared that Iran had made important progress in answering key questions on its nuclear program.
