The text of the statement is as follows:
In the name of God
The majority of the members of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a resolution against the Islamic Republic of Iran on Wednesday. We, the representatives of the Iranian people, while condemning this extravagant political action of the Western countries, which proposed the resolution, remind the following:
- The Islamic Republic of Iran, according to the reports of the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is a country that has provided the most opportunities for monitoring and access of this agency in various time periods, but these accesses instead of helping resolving the West's claims against a peaceful nuclear program, has faced with new stubborn questions from the Secretary-General each time that have now cast doubt on the need for such cooperation. The question is, if cooperating with IAEA inspections raises excuses for ambiguity, why should these opportunities be repeated?
- Unfortunately, the Director-General and consequently the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency have clearly lost their technical credibility. Mr. Grossi's visit to the Occupied Palestinian Territories and his meeting with the leaders of a regime that refuses to accept the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and does not consider various reports on the illegal acquisition of nuclear weapons are the most obvious signs of Grossi's biased behavior and commitment to the implementation of its respective organization's missions on the path to nuclear disarmament.
3-In this context, contrary to the Agency's internal rules and procedures, the allegation leveled by the Zionist spy service is the basis of the Secretary's requests for access in Iran, which is a clear indication of the political and non-technical nature of the Agency's request on remaining issues and 3 claimed locations.
4- In the negotiations and agreement of March 2022 between Iran's Atomic Energy Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Director-General of the IAEA agreed that after receiving the initial and supplementary explanations of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the remaining issues, takes steps in his report to resolve the issue in the Board of Governors. In this context, our country has handed written explanations and held 3 rounds of face-to-face meetings with the IAEA once during the last 3 months but from the Director-General's remarks before the end of the talks in the European Parliament and after his negative report to the Board of Governors, it became clear that political motives had replaced the technical approach in Grossi's positions!
5- With the continuation of the politically-motivated process in the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Islamic Consultative Assembly supports the actions of the administration and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to reduce cooperation with the IAEA, including the cessation of monitoring cameras beyond safeguards agreements.
6- We, the members of the Parliament, while seriously requesting the administration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to underscore on protecting the rights of the Iranian people in maintaining the framework of the nuclear program and effectively lifting sanctions for the economic benefit of our people in the face of the Western parties and consider the strict implementation of the "Law on Strategic Action to Lift Sanctions and Protect the Interests of the Iranian Nation" (approved by the 11th Majlis) as the main means of protecting the rights of this great nation.
