Iran nuclear case is 'closed': Ahmadinejad

TEHRAN: Iran has "closed" the issue of international concerns over its nuclear programme through its cooperation with the UN atomic watchdog, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday.   

"Not one member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has cooperated as well as Iran," Ahmadinejad told a Tehran news conference.   

"So from our point of view, Iran's nuclear case is closed. Iran is a nuclear nation and has the nuclear fuel cycle," he said.   

His comments came after Iran and the IAEA announced last week that they had agreed a detailed timetable for Tehran to answer outstanding questions about its atomic drive.   

However the United States dismissed the plan as having "real limitations".
