Iran’s nuclear chief Eslami has called on the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency to pay no attention to the baseless accusations that the Zionist regime has leveled against Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program.

Mohammad Eslami, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), denied the accusations made against the Islamic Republic about safeguards in a statement to the media in Tehran on Tuesday.

“The issue of utmost importance is that Iran is a signatory to the NPT. All of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear activities are in accordance with the Safeguards Agreement. The International Atomic Energy Agency is present in Iran and is strictly monitoring Iran’s nuclear activities," he stated. 

Iran expects IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to ignore the fuss that the Israeli regime and the anti-Iranian groups have made against its nuclear program for more than 20 years, Eslami said, denouncing the media hype created by the Zionist regime, the MKO terrorist group, and anti-Revolution groups against Iran.

Claims for political leverage are futile

Eslami added that it is anticipated that the UN nuclear watchdog won't obstruct Iran's peaceful nuclear development program.

“We will by no means agree that the Zionist regime’s stances and pressures would be pursued as an agenda of the (International Atomic Energy) Agency’s director general," he further stressed.

He argued that the justification of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was the termination of accusations that had been made against Iran’s nuclear program for 20 years.

Regarding the accusations made against Iran in relation to the Safeguards Agreement, Eslami stated that Iran has consistently refuted the allegations made by the Israeli regime and anti-Revolutionary parties about questionable incidents, locations, and documents.

The Safeguards Agreement entails that the IAEA has the right and obligation to ensure that safeguards are applied to all nuclear material in the territory, jurisdiction or control of the State for the exclusive purpose of verifying that such material is not diverted to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.

His remarks came after the IAEA demanded Iran provide an explanation for why traces of enriched uranium, as claimed by Iran, were discovered at previously unreported nuclear research locations three years ago.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told CNN on Monday that the agency would not drop that investigation without "technically credible explanations" from Iran.
