Speaking to reporters at his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Esmaeil Baqaei emphasized that Iran has not held any meeting with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi and “has no program for inspections of nuclear facilities damaged as a result of US and Israeli aggression.”
There is currently no protocol or mechanism for such inspections, he stated, adding that Iran will continue its existing procedures in line with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Responding to US claims about the start of nuclear talks and the possible deployment of inspectors to Tehran, Baqaei rejected the assertions as unfounded.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman also commented on the recent IAEA Board of Governors resolution, thanking the countries that “acted responsibly” and did not cooperate with the United States and European states.
He praised Russia, China, and Niger for voting against the resolution, describing their stance as “responsible,” while criticizing those who voted in favor, saying such “double standards are unacceptable.”
