The German Foreign Ministry on Wednesday called Iran’s suspension of direct cooperation with the IAEA “sent a catastrophic message,” removing the critical international surveillance needed to resolve the diplomatic solution and calling on Tehran to reverse the decision.
Araghchi dismissed the statement as “fake news,” claiming Iran is committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and its protection agreement.
This is the full statement by a top Iranian diplomat in response to news stories.
Fake news. Iran remains committed to the NPT and its protection agreement. In accordance with the new laws by Magiclis caused by illegal attacks on nuclear facilities by Israel and the US, cooperation with @iaeaorg will be led through Iran’s highest security board for obvious security and security reasons.
Reality: For Iranians, what truly destroys “sent a catastrophic message” and “diplomatic solutions.”
– Germany’s explicit support for Israel’s illegal attacks on Iran, including protected nuclear sites, as “dirty work” was carried out on behalf of the West. Germany also embarrassingly supported illegal US attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities that violated international law, the NPT and the UN Charter.
– Germany’s denial of JCPOA’s commitment by openly requesting “zero enrichment” in Iran.
Iranians were already postponed by support for German Nazi-style genocide in Gaza and by providing materials for chemical weapons, thus supporting the Saddam War with Iran.
Germany’s explicit support for Iranian bombing erased the notion that the German regime had anything but malice towards Iranians.
