First report
Iran had also discovered raw Uranium deposits in the southern coastal regions and thus had planned to set up 16 more nuclear power stations. Before the second round of talks between Iran and P5+1 started, International Atomic Energy Agency had submitted its report declaring the intentions of Iran behind building nuclear energy. The IAEA report had given a clean chit to Iran saying that the nuclear programme of Iran had a peaceful intention.
Second report
IAEA submitted another report after the second round of talks in which it mentioned that Iran has continued to produce 20 per cent enriched uranium. The report mentioned that the majority of the uranium had been converted into fuel and thus was of no use in developing weapons.
The United Nations watchdog reported that Iran denied the access to its military facility which might have undeclared nuclear material. Satellite images were presented which showed that Iran was developing nuclear weapons with alternative ways. It has continued to operate a plant that could produce plutonium. The report mentions of the heavily guarded Iranian facility for which IAEA has been trying to get access for the past 18 months.
Satellite images
The satellite images revealed that Iran had re-activated the Arak heavy-water production plant. Plutonium used in the bomb could be produced with a nuclear reactor that needs the heavy water. The United Nations watchdog had earlier attempted to enter the facility in the month of August 2011 but was denied access. The site is located 150 miles south west of Tehran. Western governments along with United Nations have been pressuring Iran to open the facility for the IAEA.
