IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei has circulated his latest reports on nuclear safeguards in Iran and Syria to Member States. The report outlines developments since the Director General′s report of 5 June 2009.

The reports are entitled Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement and Relevant Provisions of Security Council Resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and 1835 (2008) in the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement in the Syrian Arab Republic.

The IAEA Board of Governors, the 35-member policymaking body, will discuss the reports when it next convenes in Vienna on 7 September.

Circulation of the reports is restricted; they cannot be released to the public unless the IAEA Board decides otherwise.
