Iran welcomes the report by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's nuclear program, saying it's positive and constructive."

TEHRAN, Sept. 5 -- The recent report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's nuclear program is "positive and constructive," said Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's ambassador to the Vienna-based international organizations.

The report deals with the developments and progress of relations and cooperation between Iran and the IAEA over the past three months, Gharibabadi was quoted as saying by Iran Labor News Agency (ILNA) on Saturday.

"It indicates the constructive interaction of the two sides during the period to reach a common understanding and find solutions to issues," he said.

The IAEA's quarterly report on Friday said that Iran's stockpile of uranium enrichment has increased to 2,105kg (4,640lb), more than 10 times the permitted 202.08kg enriched uranium under the Iranian landmark nuclear deal, which was sealed between Iran and China, France, Germany, Russia, Britain and the United States in 2015.
