Zakharova: The statements of the Atomic Agency reject the claims about Iran’s nuclear program
“Maria Zakharova,” the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, announced that the regular statements of the International Atomic Energy Agency neutralize foreign destructive efforts against Iran’s nuclear program.
According to IsnaZakharova said in a press conference: “We pay attention to the clear and constant statements of Rafael Grossi, Director General of the Atomic Agency; Statements that emphasize that the agency did not have and does not have any information about the construction of nuclear weapons by Iran. In our opinion, this assessment severely weakens and makes practically senseless the destructive efforts that some countries have launched over decades by exaggerating the fake threat of Iran’s nuclear program.
Zakharova added that Russia appreciates that Iran, despite external threats and constant attacks by the opposition, has continued to adhere to its obligations within the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement.
He emphasized: “Inspections by the agency in Iran are possible in principle, but they require the decision of the Supreme National Security Council of this country.”
The spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, on the other hand, announced that the contacts to resolve the situation in Ukraine continue and that Russia is “doing everything in its power” to reach a peaceful solution.
“Our priority is to achieve peace,” Zakharova said. From the beginning, we have done everything possible and we will do it again.”
He also emphasized that an important part of diplomacy should be done behind closed doors so that it is effective and “processes that are just being formed” are not disturbed.
The senior Russian official also warned that Western countries should understand the possible consequences of confiscating frozen Russian assets in favor of Ukraine.
He said: “They are ready to do it even if by doing this they destroy the foundations of the well-being of EU citizens and businesses, as well as the entire global financial system. It doesn’t matter to them; This action is completely suicidal.”
Zakharova warned that such actions will undoubtedly be met with severe retaliatory measures by Russia, and the responsibility for its negative consequences for the world economy will be borne by the designers of this “deceitful plan”.
The spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry added: “The European Commission is trying to give a legal appearance to this theft and to involve the Group of Seven countries in these illegal plans, but many Western countries do not agree with this completely illegal approach, because they are afraid of economic risks.”
Zakharova also said that she hopes the United States will avoid a full-scale conflict with Venezuela that would affect the entire Western Hemisphere.
