SAEDNEWS: Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that Tehran is committed to its nuclear obligations and emphasized that Iran has the right, like any other country, to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
According to SAEDNEWS, Zakharova, referring to the fact that the non-diversion of Iran’s nuclear program has been repeatedly verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), stated: Tehran has repeatedly declared that it is not pursuing nuclear weapons, and this has also been confirmed by the Agency.
In response to comments by JD Vance, the U.S. Vice President, who claimed that Russia and China oppose Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, she wrote on her Telegram channel: Moscow and Beijing want the United States not to interfere in their internal affairs, but if anyone is to speak on behalf of Russia and China, it would be better if those statements begin by emphasizing refraining from sending deadly missiles to the terrorist regime of Kyiv or militarizing Taiwan Island.
Zakharova then referred to official statements by the Russian and Chinese foreign ministries, saying: Both countries have strongly condemned the U.S. and (regime of) Israel’s aggression against Iran in their statements, and these positions reflect our true stance.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson pointed out that to date, the only nuclear-armed power in the Middle East is the Israeli regime, which has repeatedly ignored efforts to create a nuclear-weapon-free zone, while Iran lacks such weapons but is attacked by the U.S. and Israel.
According to IRNA, early Sunday (1st of Tir), the United States, by attacking three nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, joined Netanyahu’s war against Iran.
Following this act, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, issued a statement emphasizing: Based on the United Nations Charter and its provisions allowing legitimate self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people.
The Atomic Energy Organization also stated that the country’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were attacked in a savage act violating international law, especially the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and emphasized: We will not allow the development path of this national industry to be stopped.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the start of the twentieth round of combined missile-drone attacks against military targets and industrial centers related to the military industry in the cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv.
