TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday a U.N. watchdog report on Iran’s nuclear program was a victory over the West, which accuses Tehran of seeking atomic bombs.

“(The president) congratulated the leader and the Iranian nation for the historical victory of the Iranian nation in the nuclear issue in the biggest political confrontation with domineering powers after the victory of the Islamic revolution,” Iranian state television reported.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said in a report on Friday that Iran was being more transparent about its nuclear program but was not doing enough to clear up all suspicions. (Reporting by Zahra Hosseinian; Writing by Edmund Blair; Editing by Ibon Villelabeitia)
