Kazem Gharibabadi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, on Saturday condemned the IAEA’s latest report on Iran’s nuclear program.
He said it was “based on a series of fabricated data provided by the Zionist regime.” He accused the agency of acting under pressure from Western states to reopen issues that were previously settled.
“The IAEA’s current actions are, therefore, in explicit contradiction with the provisions of the resolution in question and constitute a political attempt to resurrect unproven and misleading allegations,” Gharibabadi said in a statement.
“Nowhere in the report is there any ambiguity concerning Iran’s current nuclear activities or any deviation in its nuclear materials or operations.”
He said the November 2024 resolution cited as the basis for the report was adopted “in a political move by the three European states and the United States in the Board of Governors without consensus and with total disregard for the outcomes of the Director General’s visit to Iran.”
