Condoleezza Rice, the United States Secretary of State, reproached Al-Baradei, IAEA’s chief, for his remarks saying that he saw no obvious threat presently from the Iranian regime’s nuclear program.

Rice said: “Al-Baradei must not interfere in diplomatic affairs. IAEA’s job is not a political and diplomatic one.”
She asserted that Al-Baradei works under the United Nation’s hegemony and control.
