Iran remains fully committed to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) despite its objections to being handed a deadline to prove it is not developing atomic weapons, Iranian vice president and atomic energy agency chief Gholamreza Aghazadeh said Monday.

His comments set the record straight after Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran's ambassador to the IAEA, said in a press interview that Tehran was reconsidering its cooperation with the UN watchdog and might even withdraw from the NPT, in reaction to the IAEA imposing an October 31 date for Iranian compliance.

TEHRAN, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- The vice president of Iran's atomic energy organization said on Thursday that a new report of the IAEA on Iran's nuclear issue had proved the fact that the U.S. propaganda against Iran was baseless, the Mehr news agency reported.
"Iran's activities are transparent, public and have peaceful aims far away from any ambiguities and it (the issue) can be easily solved through negotiations," he was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.
Diplomats said Iran's tactic was to fudge the deadline, and try to divide Russia and China from the West and the Europeans from the United States by dangling the possibility of a negotiated freeze on enrichment at a later date.
