“Enemies of Iran should know that our nuclear industry has deep roots and cannot be eliminated through military action,” Eslami said in his address to the 69th General Conference. He added that “Iran will not yield to political or military pressure and will not give up its inherent rights.”
The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said Tehran’s cooperation with the IAEA “has been broad and consistent,”.“Despite our formal request, the agency did not condemn the attacks by the United States and Israel on the nuclear centers of the Islamic Republic,” he said. “This silence and inaction will remain as a stain on the Agency’s history.”
Referring to the attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Eslami added: “In the case of what happened to the Islamic Republic of Iran, we witnessed the IAEA’s lack of professional conduct. The Agency failed to condemn these incidents and did not even respond with impartiality—truly applying double standards.”
Mohammad Eslami, speaking about Iran’s draft resolution at the IAEA General Conference, stated: “It is very important that such a law be established to prohibit military attacks on nuclear facilities. Even if this resolution is not adopted, it will demonstrate that the UN Charter has been undermined.”
Eslami continued: “For instance, the Director General of the Agency regularly issues statements and resolutions regarding the situation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. But when it comes to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear facilities—facilities under safeguards and strict oversight—that have been subjected to military attack, the Agency has taken no position. This is a clear signal and an explicit example of applying double standards.”
The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said: “That is why a resolution has been drafted, proposed, and placed on the agenda of the General Conference. The recent aggression against Iranian territory has not only damaged the nuclear industry, but also struck a blow to the UN Charter itself.”
The Vice President said: “This year’s General Conference is a very valuable opportunity for us to attend, present our country’s positions, and confront such double standards.”
