IAEA expresses readiness to resolve matters with Iran

6 Jun 2022 - 23:58

As in the past, and in order for the IAEA to be in a position to provide assurance that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful, the Agency remains ready to re-engage without delay with Iran to resolve these matters, said IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi in an introductory statement to the Board of Governors.


You have received my report entitled NPT Safeguards Agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran noted IAEA's DG adding, "This describes the Agency's efforts since my last report in clarifying questions related to the correctness and completeness of Iran's declarations under its Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, according to the terms of the Joint Statement of 5 March 2022 between Mr. Mohammad Eslami, Vice President of the Islamic Republic of Iran and President of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, and myself."
"We have completed the steps as set out in the Joint Statement and the report contains my conclusion, as envisioned by the Joint Statement. Iran has not provided explanations that are technically credible in relation to the Agency's findings at three undeclared locations in Iran. Nor has Iran informed the Agency of the current location, or locations, of the nuclear material and/or of the equipment contaminated with nuclear material, that was moved from Turquzabad in 201," he claimed.
"Unless and until Iran provides technically credible explanations for the presence of uranium particles of anthropogenic origin at Turquzabad, Varamin, and 'Marivan' and informs the Agency of all current locations of the nuclear material and/or of the contaminated equipment, the Agency cannot confirm the correctness and completeness of Iran's declarations under its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement. Therefore, the safeguards issues related to these three locations remain outstanding," DG of IAEA highlighted.
"As in the past, and in order for the Agency to be in a position to provide assurance that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively peaceful, the Agency remains ready to re-engage without delay with Iran to resolve these matters," he ended his points of view with Iran's nuclear file.
