Iran denies German report on secret nuclear fund
TEHRAN, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Iran on Friday denied a recent report in the German weekly magazine Der Spiegel which alleged Tehran had a secret fund to finance its nuclear activities, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Developing Iran's peaceful nuclear program does not require the approval of a secret budget, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Berlin said in a statement.
All of Iran's nuclear activities are under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and there have been no references about secret activities in IAEA reports, the statement said.
"On the issue of the construction of a new nuclear power plant, we state that there is no need for secrecy since the IAEA is supporting the rights of countries to use peaceful nuclear energy," it said.
Furthermore, if Iran would want to undertake such steps, it could announce and act openly, the statement added.
