Official: IAEA Board of Governors's decision counts, not Amano's remarks

Tehran, Nov. 29, IRNA The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) spokesman said on Sunday IAEA's Yukiya Amano has made various comments and been quoted differently in media, but what really counts is the agency's report and Board of Governors' decision.

Behruz Kamalvandi who was speaking on Sunday evening on the sidelines of a memorial sercice held for former Iranian ambassador to Lebanon Qazanfar Roknabadi, made the comment in response to a question on his opinion about recent remarks of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Amano on probable military dimension (PMD) file.

'The IAEA viewpoint and the decision of its Board of Governors is of great importance and the agency's report will be forwarded to the Board of Governors within the next couple of days, which will have till December 15 to make a final decision on Iranian nuclear file,' he added.

Asked about Iran's reaction if the agency will not close the field concerning the past and present activities, also known as the PMD file, the AEOI spokesman said that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is a bilateral agreement, hoping that both sides will properly heed their commitments.

'The Islamic Republic of Iran has met all its commitments and is waiting for the result of Amano's report so that both sides can continue their respective moves one after the other,' added Kamalvandi.

He said 'Fulfilling each side's commitments is of great importance and presently we are waiting for their performance in accordance with Article 14 of the JCPOA.'

'The agency must now present the draft of a resolution based on which Iran's past activities file will be closed for good,' he said.

The AEOI spokesman said that if that resolution is passed the JCPOA will enter its implementation phase and carrying out the remaining works will begin.
