The White House has expressed concerns over Iran's nuclear program calling it an "urgent problem" the International community should address.

The Thursday report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's nuclear program said that there remained "outstanding issues" which gave rise to concerns about "possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program."

 

White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, told reporters on Friday that, "the report represents another lost opportunity for Iran as it continues to renege on its international obligations."

 

Gibbs said that the US and its allies "can't delay" addressing worries over Iran's suspect nuclear program.

"It does underscore the urgency which the international community must work together to address these enrichment activities. This is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed and we cannot delay addressing," he added.

 

The US, Israel and their European allies, Britain, France and Germany, accuse the Islamic Republic of pursuing military purposes.

However, Tehran says the only aim of its nuclear program is the civilian applications of the technology.
