IAEA and International Community's Actions


In a post on his X account on Thursday, the top Iranian diplomat reacted to the illegal and unjustified action of three European countries and the United States in drafting an anti-Iranian resolution to the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA BoG), saying that the Cairo agreement between Iran and the IAEA has officially ended.

Iran had already warned against the passing of the resolution.

Yesterday, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi confirmed that the Agency's inspectors have returned to Iran and have done inspections at facilities not affected by the June attacks.

Iran has said that the IAEA inspections were continuing their operation at the non-bombed sites.

"By taking this action and ignoring Iran's interactions and goodwill, these countries are invalidating Agency and its independence and disrupting the process of interactions and cooperation between the Agency and Iran," Araghchi added in his Thursday post, which is written in the Farsi language.

"Although the Cairo Agreement was no longer a basis for Iran-IAEA safeguards relations after the illegal action of three European countries in the UN Security Council in returning the cancelled Security Council resolutions, today it was announced in an official letter to the IAEA Director General that the agreement is no longer valid and is considered terminated," the Iranian minister concluded.
