International Atomic Energy Agency director general Rafael Grossi made the comments ahead of a meeting in Cairo with Iran’s top diplomat and chief nuclear negotiator, Abbas Araghchi.
In a joint press conference with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty before the scheduled tripartite meeting, Grossi defended the report, calling it “impartial”.
“There is a need for more transparency -- this is very, very clear -- in Iran, and nothing will bring us to this confidence (besides) full explanations of a number of activities,“ he added.
Grossi said some of the report’s findings “may be uncomfortable for some, and we are... used to being criticised”.
Abdelatty urged a peaceful solution, saying “the region is already experiencing enough crises and security challenges”.
The UN report comes as Iran holds talks with the United States on its nuclear programme, after Washington unilaterally abandoned a landmark agreement between Tehran and world powers in 2018 during President Donald Trump’s first term.
The 2015 deal aimed to stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb -- a goal Western countries accused it of pursuing, though Tehran denies it.
The UN agency’s board of governors is set to review Iran’s nuclear activities in its upcoming quarterly meeting in Vienna starting June 9.
