Tehran vows response if IAEA approves anti-Iran resolution
“In case of issuing a resolution against Iran in the board of governors and political pressure from the parties, Iran will respond according to the announcement it made to them,” Iran’s atomic energy chief Mohammad Eslami said.
Britain, France and Germany submitted a draft resolution to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s board on Monday, accusing Iran of lack of cooperation with the watchdog.
He said Tehran’s civilian nuclear activities are within the framework of the strategic action law adopted by the Iranian Parliament in late 2020 to counter sanctions and promote the country’s nuclear program.
“Under the Strategic Action Plan to Counter Sanctions, we are obliged not to honor our commitments in case the other party fails to do so. If they fulfill their obligations, the Islamic Republic will meet the JCPOA (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) obligations which require certain curbs,” Mohammad Eslami said.
Eslami said based on the 2015 nuclear deal with major powers “if the other parties do not return to their commitments, Iran has the right to reciprocally reduce its obligations, and now the country is in the phase of reducing them.”
