IAEA resolution won’t undermine Iran’s nuclear development plans: Ministry
“Passage of the resolution will have no effect on the Islamic Republic’s resolve to continue its peaceful application of the nuclear energy and operationalize its developmental nuclear plans in line with the rights that are accorded to the country under the relevant international agreements,” the ministry’s statement read.
It considered the resolution to be a “politically-motivated and non-constructive measure” and an attempt on the part of some Western countries to take political advantage of international mechanisms to target independent countries.
Iran asserts that it runs one of the most transparent peaceful nuclear energy programs among the IAEA’s members.
The country has also repeatedly voiced its readiness to resolve differences with the IAEA within a framework of constructive and mutual interaction and technical cooperation.
The ministry’s statement likewise declared that “Iran is committed to continue technical cooperation with the agency within the framework of its international rights and obligations based on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and [the agency’s] Safeguards Agreement.”
