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 government, “Corinne Kitsell”, the British ambassador and permanent representative in the International 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 implementation of Iran’s obligations under the Safeguards Agreement of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), without referring to the expiration of the 10-year legal term of the 2015 agreement with Tehran (known as JCPOA), Washington’s unilateral withdrawal from the aforementioned agreement 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 aforementioned agreement, with a ridiculous and demagogic claim, claimed: The Security Council has recently reimposed restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program, and therefore countries are obliged to implement these decisions through their own actions!

Today, Britain, France, Germany and the United States are introducing a resolution to clarify the reporting mandate of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which will ensure that the agency provides regular reports on Iran’s compliance with the nuclear elements of the re-established Security Council resolutions, said the British Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency. This resolution does not create new obligations for Iran; Rather, it restores certainty and provides a clear mission for the agency’s reporting and returns to the same reporting before the JCPOA. This transparency is essential 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, contrary to all international conventions and without mentioning 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 Agreement, which is still in force. Iran has not granted 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 accounting of nuclear material and nuclear facilities under safeguards, and the restoration of necessary oversight arrangements.

“Corin Kitsel” then added: “This resolution reaffirms Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy under Article IV of the NPT.”
