Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has further reacted to the recent resolution passed by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors and Iran’s response to it.
Kanaani said, “The resolution was proposed to the meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors with political aims. It was put on the agenda of the US and the European trio, to mount pressures on the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
The foreign ministry spokesman added, the resolution was issued while Iran has had the most transparent peaceful nuclear program in the world, with regards to the number of the nuclear installations under the supervision of the IAEA worldwide, while Tehran has let the Agency conduct the highest number of inspections and verifications.
Adding that the Islamic Republic of Iran had earlier warned the western countries against the consequences of this destructive and irrational move, Kanaani said unfortunately instrumental use of the international organizations against independent nations, has turned into a norm in the foreign policy of the West.
The spokesman stressed that the Islamic Republic will never give in to the pressures, reiterating Iran will continue its peaceful nuclear program proportional to its needs and in line with its rights and commitments under the international treaties to which it is a member state.
He added, in response to the recent move by the US and the three European countries in approving the anti-Iran resolution, at the first stage Tehran has put a few measures on the agenda of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran that were implemented on Sunday at the enrichment sites of Martyr Ahmadi Roshan (in Natanz) and Dr. Alimohammadi (in Fordow) with the IAEA inspectors in attendance.
Kanaani added: Any time the western sides return to their commitments and abide by their obligations, and put an end to the political moves, the Islamic Republic of Iran will react proportionately, while pursuing its inalienable rights.
