联合国一名高级官员批评伊朗和叙利亚在对他们有争议的核项目还在进行的调查过程中没有给予全面合作。
国际原子能机构的总干事天野之弥说，伊朗“没有提供必要的合作”，而叙利亚还没有对该机构2008年中就提出的一些疑问做出答复。伊朗和叙利亚这两个密切的盟友否认有发展核武器的野心。
天野之弥星期一在国际原子能机构由35个成员国组成的理事会会议上致开幕辞时做出上述表示。
这位国际原子能机构的总干事说，德黑兰的态度使得他的机构不能“就伊朗不存在没有宣布的核材料和活动提供可靠的保证”。
他说，这意味着国际原子能机构不能“做出伊朗所有的核材料都被用于和平目的的结论”。
天野之弥还在会议上表示，叙利亚仍然拒绝讨论有关指称，说它在过去建造了一个没有宣布的核反应堆，以此用来生产炸弹材料。以色列的飞机在2007年摧毁了这个地点。
A top United Nations official has criticized Iran and Syria for not fully cooperating during ongoing probes into their controversial nuclear programs.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Yukiya Amano, says Iran is "not providing the necessary cooperation" and that Syria has not responded to agency queries since mid-2008. Iran and Syria -- close allies -- deny nuclear weapon ambitions.
Amano made his comments in his opening address to a meeting of the IAEA's 35-member board of governors Monday.
The IAEA director general said Tehran's attitude has not enabled the agency "to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran."
He said that meant the IAEA cannot "conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities."
Amano also told the meeting that Syria still refuses to discuss allegations it had been building an undeclared nuclear reactor intended to produce bomb material. Israeli planes destroyed the site in 2007.
