SAEDNEWS: Iran Criticizes IAEA Resolutions, Says Attacks on Nuclear Facilities Prevent Normal Safeguards Implementation
According to Saednews, In a statement published on its official X account, Iran’s diplomatic mission criticized the reporting of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi, claiming that the Board of Governors’ resolutions against Iran were legally and procedurally flawed. It argued that the decisions were adopted through an abuse of process and that recent US-Israeli attacks on Iranian territory had disrupted inspections and compelled the Agency to withdraw its inspectors.
The Iranian mission stated that the IAEA’s reports on Iran were based on resolutions that it considers technically and legally invalid, adding that the conclusions drawn from them exceeded the Board’s authority.
It further emphasized that attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards had created an unprecedented situation. According to the mission, these developments interrupted inspection activities, forced the withdrawal of Agency personnel and made it necessary to take Iran’s security concerns into account.
The statement also accused the United States of removing any reference to its aggression from what Tehran described as biased resolutions, while stressing that the consequences of those actions remain evident in reality.
The Iranian mission maintained that the regular implementation of safeguards cannot resume under abnormal security conditions. It called on the IAEA Board of Governors to address the underlying causes of the current crisis, while questioning the Board’s ability to do so given what it described as its acceptance of the aggressor as one of its members.
