Iran would block the UN nuclear watchdog’s cameras until a 2015 nuclear agreement is reestablished, the chief of the nation’s Atomic Energy Organization said on Monday in Dubai.
Iran notified the IAEA that it had removed IAEA equipment, including 27 cameras installed as part of the 2015 agreement with major nations, after the IAEA approved a resolution criticising Tehran in June.
Mohammad Eslami, the head of Iran’s nuclear programme, declared, “We won’t turn on the IAEA cameras until the other side returns to the nuclear deal.The 2015 nuclear agreement, in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions, limited Iran’s nuclear activities.The governing clergy of Iran retaliated by flouting the agreement’s nuclear limitations.
IAEA Director Rafael Grossi was charged with having “unprofessional, unjust, and unconstructive opinions” on Tehran’s nuclear programme by Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani on Monday.
