Iran:the resolution is legally flawed and lacks any legitimacy
the E3 and the US must bear the responsibility for the consequences of their resolution which will be Iran’s strong reactions.
Iran’s nuclear program is the most extensively verified in the world. The Agency’s Report reaffirmed the absence of any evidence of Non-compliance or diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices. So the resolution is legally flawed and lacks any legitimacy.
Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran
to the United Nations Office and other International Organizations in Vienna
Statement by H.E Reza Najafi,
Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran,
before the Board of Governors of the IAEA
Regarding the Resolution Proposed by France, Germany, United Kingdom and the United States
(Vienna, 12 June 2025)
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
This session of the Board of Governors divided over the politically motivated resolution submitted by France, Germany, United Kingdom and the United States. As my Minister stated yesterday: another major strategic mistake by the E3.
The weak record in favor of this resolution clearly indicated that technical issues shall not be dealt with political considerations.
Iran expresses its firm opposition to the politically motivated resolution introduced under the pretext of addressing so-called safeguards concerns. This resolution is not only a deviation from the Agency’s statutory mandate, but also an attempt to undermine its credibility by advancing the narrow political agendas of certain States. This resolution sets a dangerous precedent by politicizing technical safeguards issues.
Despite this provocative action, Iran remains a faithful party to CSA. This good will as shown by Iran, shall not underestimate the very fact that these actions by E3 and US whatsoever could be sustained further in the Board without any cost. Therefore, they must bear the responsibility for its consequences which will be Iran’s strong reactions.
Iran’s nuclear program is the most extensively verified in the world. The Agency’s Report reaffirmed the absence of any evidence of Non-compliance or diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices. So, the resolution is legally flawed and lacks any legitimacy.
While fully committed to its legal obligations under CSA, Iran resolutely rejects any pressure or intimidation aimed at undermining its sovereignty. The Islamic Republic of Iran will steadfastly defend its national interests, independence and dignity, and as always, will not relent in the face of pressures and threats.
