The head of the U.N.’s atomic watchdog plans to visit Iran before the end of next month amid questions about whether Iran will return to negotiations.
Iran’s permanent envoy in Vienna-based international organizations said that the agency, the US, and the European troika cannot remain silent about Israel’s terrorist and sabotage acts.
Based on a Joint statement by Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami and Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA inspectors) Rafael Grossi, IAEA’s inspectors are permitted to service the identified equipment and replace their storage media which will be kept under the joint IAEA and AEOI seals in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Russia's ambassador and permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna stated that the level of access of International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to verify Iran's nuclear activities is sufficient within the framework of the recent agreement.
“If the sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran are not lifted by February 21, especially in the fields of finance, banking, and oil, we will definitely expel the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors from the country,” said Ahmad Amirabadi, A member of the Parliament Presiding Board, in a televised program on Saturday.
The spokesman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said regarding the details of the strategic action plan to lift sanctions, added that strengthening Iran's nuclear activities and restricting the supervision of IAEA inspectors are among the features of this plan.
Permanent Representative of Russia to International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov in a message said Iran does not deny the IAEA inspectors' access.
