Iran warns IAEA of consequences of any political action at Board meeting
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had a phone conversation with the UN nuclear watchdog's director general Rafael Grossi to discuss the latest IAEA report on Iran, Iran's Foreign Ministry said.
"During the phone call, Araghchi highlighted Iran’s ongoing cooperation with the Agency, saying all of the country’s nuclear activities are conducted under the Agency’s supervision and within the framework of the Safeguards Agreement, with no diversion of nuclear materials or activities."
"He called on the Agency’s Director General to reflect the realities in a way that prevents certain parties from misusing this international body to advance their political agendas against the Iranian nation," according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry's readout of the call.
Iran's foreign minister also called on the IAEA director general "to clarify Tehran’s cooperation with the Agency during next week’s Board of Governors meeting and to warn of the consequences of any political action."
Araghchi stressed that "Iran will respond appropriately to any improper moves by European parties. The responsibility for any fallout will lie with those who use the Agency and its mechanisms as tools to advance their political agenda against Iran," the readout said.
