The IAEA is protesting to the U.S. government and the House Select Committee on Intelligence about a report on Iran's nuclear work, calling parts of it "outrageous and dishonest." A copy was hand-delivered to Gregory L. Schulte, the U.S. ambassador to the IAEA.
A letter from Vienna noted five major errors in the committee's 29-page report, which said Iran's nuclear capabilities are more advanced than either the IAEA or U.S. intelligence has shown. Privately, several intelligence officials said the report included at least a dozen claims that were either demonstrably wrong or impossible to substantiate.
IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said: "We felt obliged to put the record straight with regard to the facts on what we have reported on Iran. It's a matter of the integrity of the IAEA."
