Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Qasem Garibabadi said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should avoid turning technical reports “into tools for political pressure” if it wants to contribute to a diplomatic solution.
He argued that the IAEA’s loss of oversight of some facilities was caused by attacks rather than a lack of cooperation on Iran’s part, adding that the IAEA was using the consequences of US and Israeli bombings of Iran’s nuclear facilities to create “ambiguity” around Tehran’s nuclear programme.
