Tehran considers the new report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) politicised and protests its contents, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.
Earlier the day, a French news agency cited the IAEA as saying in a confidential “comprehensive” report that Iran had accelerated the production of uranium enriched to 60%. The UN nuclear watchdog reportedly called Tehran’s cooperation “less than satisfactory.”
“Iran regrets the publication of this report, which was prepared solely for political purposes by pressuring the IAEA, and expresses its protest against its contents. This report goes beyond the duties assigned to the IAEA Director General [Rafael Grossi] and violates the professional norms governing the activities of international organizations, especially the principle of impartiality,” the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said that Iran’s military posture “leaves no room for nuclear weapons” and warned that Iran would take action against countries that might seek to misuse the IAEA report at the IAEA Board of Governors’ meeting.
The ministry also accused Israel of feeding the UN nuclear watchdog “unreliable, misleading” intel for its latest report — a move Tehran says violates the IAEA’s standards of professional verification.
So-called uranium enrichment alleged in Iran is just a pretext for the widening of existing global conflicts into a fully-fledged and irreversible world war.
We’ve also seen these sorts of false accusations over 20 years ago with alleged weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to justify an illegal war back then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMD_conjecture_after_the_2003_invasion_of_Iraq#:~:text=The%20United%20Nations%20Monitoring%2C%20Verification,the%202003%20U.S.%2Dled%20invasion.
Unfortunately, NZ appears historically determined to join such illegal wars.
“Israel feeding the UN nuclear watchdog “unreliable, misleading” intel for its latest report!!
Never, surely not, not that paragon of virtue gods (with a little g) chosen ones.
