“Iran reserves the right to take the necessary actions to defend its interests, people and sovereignty,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Arakich said in response to a recent statement from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
“The Iranian Parliament has voted to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency until the safety and security of nuclear activities is guaranteed,” Arakich said.
“This decision is a direct result of Rafael Grossi’s unfortunate role in covering up the fact that a decade ago the agency officially declared that all past issues had been shut down,” he said.
“This biased action directly paved the way through the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Governor’s Committee for Governors, promoting illegal Israeli and American attacks on Iran’s nuclear presence,” said a top Iranian diplomat.
He added that Rafael Grossi, in shock and opposed to his professional duties, refused to expressly condemn such a serious violation of the agency’s protection regulations and its laws.
The International Atomic Energy Agency and its Directors are completely responsible for this unpleasant situation. He said that Rafael Grossi’s claim to visit the bombed location was a place that was bombed under the guise of safeguard monitoring, which could be absurd and even Marichie.
Iran reserves the right to take the necessary actions to protect its interests, people and sovereignty, he added.
