Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed concerns over his country's recent decision to halt cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

In a phone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday night, Pezeshkian stated that the move stemmed from the agency's Director General Rafael Grossi’s "false reports" on Iran's nuclear program and his failure to condemn acts of aggression against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Criticism of double standards

Pezeshkian criticized the international community’s double standards in addressing Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities compared to the Israeli occupation entity's atomic weapons program.

He emphasized that all of Iran’s nuclear activities remain under IAEA supervision, even as the US and "Israel" continue to target the country’s nuclear infrastructure.

The Iranian president noted that "Israel" is not a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and has consistently violated international regulations.

Rebuilding trust in international commitments

Pezeshkian expressed concern over the IAEA’s recent conduct, suggesting it undermines public trust in Iran. He stressed that restoring this trust requires the IAEA to fully comply with its own regulations and obligations.

He questioned the assurances available to Iran regarding the protection of its nuclear facilities from future attacks, especially in light of ongoing cooperation with the agency.

Macron’s position on recent developments

On his part, Macron conveyed his condolences to Pezeshkian for the martyrdom of Iranians during the Israeli attacks.

He affirmed that France was among the first to condemn the strikes and had informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his regime holds no legal standing or legitimacy to interfere in Iran’s nuclear program.

The French president acknowledged Iran’s concerns about the IAEA's legal responsibilities and stressed the importance of continued cooperation, including within a revised framework.

He also underscored France’s support for ongoing dialogue between Tehran and European nations.
