Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says the allegations are misleading because such traces are “not cleanable, at all.”
Satellite images of Iran’s Parchin military facility that circulated last week appear to show trucks and earth-moving vehicles at Parchin. This set off assertions by diplomats, all nuclear experts accredited to the U.N. nuclear agency, about a cleanup.
The assertions followed Iran’s reversal of a previous ban for U.N. inspectors to visit Parchin.
They could add to the growing international pressure on Iran over its nuclear program, which Tehran insists is for peaceful purposes.
