Iran alerted Monday that it is prepared to strike back if the International Atomic Energy Firm (IAEA) embraces a resolution important of its nuclear program. The caution came throughout an IAEA Board of Governors conference in Vienna, where Western countries, consisting of the United States, France, Britain, and Germany, are apparently backing a resolution that might intensify diplomatic stress and possibly result in the reimposition of global sanctions.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei informed press reporters in Tehran that “the reaction to conflict will not be additional cooperation,” including that Iran had actually currently prepared a set of countermeasures. He implicated European powers of utilizing the IAEA’s current report, which pointed out unusual uranium traces at undeclared websites and “less than satisfying” cooperation, as a political tool to validate hostile actions.
Baghaei stated Iran’s nuclear activities stay serene and constant with its commitments under the Non-Proliferation Treaty and its Detailed Safeguards Contract with the company. “Even if we think about the IAEA’s current report, it does not discuss any non-compliance or discrepancy from the serene course,” he stated.
The draft resolution under conversation might make it possible for making use of the snapback system from the 2015 nuclear arrangement, which would bring back all UN sanctions if Iran is considered to be in infraction. Baghaei alerted that European nations and the United States would bear duty for the effects of such a relocation.
Iran’s Atomic Energy Company spokesperson, Behrouz Kamalvandi, stated on state television Sunday that the IAEA “ought to definitely not anticipate” continued cooperation if the resolution is passed.
