AEOI: Iran seeking approval of resolution against attacks on nuclear sites
Spokesman of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi said on Sunday that Tehran is seeking the approval of an Iran-proposed resolution condemning attacks on nuclear facilities at a meeting of the UN atomic agency.
Kamalvandi, who has traveled to Vienna to take part in the 69th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said that the Iranian delegation will consult with representatives of other countries to get their support for the approval of the resolution.
Referring to the June’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities by the US and Israel, the Iranian official said, “Attacks on nuclear facilities create a serious problem for the NPT treaty and other international regulations and are not an issue solely related to Iran.”
He also pointed to the US efforts to block the approval of the resolution, saying that Washington has threatened the IAEA’s member states and the agency that if Iran-proposed resolution is approved, it will cut off its assistance to the UN agency.
