Ulyanov’s decisive answer to Grossi about reducing the agency’s visibility in Iran – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr news agency, Mikhail Ulyanov, the permanent representative of Russia in international organizations, referring to the statements of Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, about the agency’s concern about the reduction of the agency’s scope of vision and supervision over Iran, said that the reason for this is the policy of the United States.
In an interview with CNN, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency once again questioned Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and said: “Right now, I must be focused and the issue here is preventing the spread of nuclear weapons in Iran and ensuring that it remains peaceful.” It is the nuclear program of this country.
Without mentioning which of the parties slowed down the negotiations by throwing stones at them, he added: During this long period of negotiations, we had similar conditions. Conditions that were sometimes more difficult and sometimes easier. We expect more participation from the Iranian authorities. In the last few months, we did not receive the response we expected from Iran, so I hope to travel to Tehran.
Expressing his concern about the slow progress of the negotiations, he claimed: Among the existing concerns is the time of nuclear escape because the negotiations did not proceed as expected and Iran needs more new generation centrifuges and more enriched materials with different percentages of 5%, 20% and 60% uranium. It has been found that it is very close to the 90% uranium needed to make weapons.
He added: As I have told my counterparts in Iran, these are not trivial components and shape the conditions; The situation has become more and more complicated with the passage of time, and our other concern is that due to the disconnection of some of the agency’s cameras, our range of vision and monitoring has decreased.
Mikhail Ulyanov, the permanent representative of Russia in international organizations, wrote on Twitter in response to Grossi’s statement: In fact, the reason for reducing the range of visibility and supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Iran is the American policy, and this issue can be proven with indisputable facts.
America, which unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2017, always claims that it supports re-entering the nuclear agreement with Iran. Since April of last year, the United States, along with Russia, England, China, Germany and France, started negotiations with Tehran in Vienna, focusing on revitalizing the JCPOA and lifting sanctions. However, in November of this year, the European Troika, consisting of England, France and Germany, issued a joint statement without referring to inaction in the implementation of their obligations regarding the 2015 agreement with Tehran, claiming that they were concerned about Iran’s insufficient cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. !
