The case of "possible military dimensions" (PMDs) of Iran's nuclear programme will be "definitely" closed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Head of Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) Ali-Akbar Salehi said on Thursday.
With reference to a Wednesday report by the IAEA, Salehi said the country's nuclear programme has been "peaceful" and there has been no diversion to weapons-grade activities, according to IRIB TV.
As for the content of the IAEA report, "the fabricated case (of PMDs), which caused problems for us will be closed forever", he was quoted as saying.
