London: The resolution of the Quadrilateral Group does not create new obligations for Iran – Mehr News agency RCO News Agency
According to the Mehr news agency, quoting from the website of the British governme, “Corinne Kitsell”, the British ambassador and permane represeative in the Iernational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), who spoke on behalf of France, Germany, England and the United States (quadrilateral group) at the meeting of the board of governors of this institution, spoke about the implemeation of Iran’s obligations under the Safeguards Agreeme of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), without referring to the expiration of the 10-year legal term of the 2015 agreeme with Tehran (known as JCPOA), Washington’s unilateral withdrawal from the aforemeioned agreeme in 2018 and the complete inaction of the European Troika on Iran’s side in the JCPOA in fulfilling their obligations in accordance with the aforemeioned agreeme, with a ridiculous and demagogic claim, claimed: The Security Council has recely reimposed restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program, and therefore couries are obliged to impleme these decisions through their own actions!
Today, Britain, France, Germany and the United States are iroducing a resolution to clarify the reporting mandate of the Iernational Atomic Energy Agency, which will ensure that the agency provides regular reports on Iran’s compliance with the nuclear elemes of the re-established Security Council resolutions, said the British Ambassador and Permane Represeative to the Iernational Atomic Energy Agency. This resolution does not create new obligations for Iran; Rather, it restores certaiy and provides a clear mission for the agency’s reporting and returns to the same reporting before the JCPOA. This transparency is esseial for the agency to carry out its mission.
Without condemning the 12-day war imposed by the United States and the Zionist regime against Tehran, corary to all iernational conveions and without meioning the peaceful nature of Tehran’s nuclear program, he claimed: This resolution also reminds Iran of its non-compliance with its legal obligations under the NPT Safeguards Agreeme, which is still in force. Iran has not graed access to all facilities under its protection. Therefore, the resolution asks for nothing more than what Iran is legally required to provide: unfettered access, accurate information on the accouing of nuclear material and nuclear facilities under safeguards, and the restoration of necessary oversight arrangemes.
“Corin Kitsel” then added: “This resolution reaffirms Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy under Article IV of the NPT.”
