According to Fars, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Kanani, on Monday, November 23, in a weekly meeting with reporters, stated that “the act of issuing a resolution in the Council of Governors will not help to resolve Iran’s technical and defense issues and will only contribute to the process of “Technical cooperation creates disruptions,” he stated: We are definitely against such a process. These countries also took such non-constructive action before and issued a resolution in the Agency in June last month, and in the same framework, the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on the law of the Islamic Council, showed countermeasures. We invite the European parties to behave with tact and tact and to move towards diplomacy, not moving towards non-constructive behaviors that will damage the diplomatic process and make it difficult.

While expressing regret that the supporters of the resolution are taking the same wrong path again, the representative of Iran called its issuance an unwise action by the three European countries and the United States, which seek to exert more political pressure on Iran.

He said that the interaction and cooperation between Iran and the Agency is on the right track and the Council of Governors is expected to support this process and stand against any non-constructive and politically motivated action.
