Iran sets out its conditions

Iran has described the resolutions adopted against Tehran as technically and legally unfounded, criticising International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi.

According to TodayPress TV, Al Jazeera reported this, citing a statement by Iran’s Permanent Mission in Vienna, Austria.

The Iranian side claims that US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities destroyed the basic security conditions, making it impossible to conduct regular IAEA inspections.

The mission stressed that Tehran’s security concerns must be taken into account when inspections resume.

“It is not possible to restore the normal implementation of safeguards under conditions that are far from normal,” the statement said.

Iran has called on the IAEA Board of Governors to focus on addressing the root causes of the crisis.

The statement was issued after the IAEA published a report calling for inspectors to be granted access to Iran’s nuclear facilities again to monitor the country’s nuclear programme.
