IAEA Gets Warning on Possible Anti-Iran Resolution
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian foreign minister cautioned the UN nuclear chief that adoption of a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors will trigger Tehran’s proportional response.
In a telephone conversation, Abbas Araqchi and Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi talked about the course of interaction between Iran and the IAEA following Grossi’s recent visit to Tehran and the developments pertaining to the regular November meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors.
Referring to the agreements made during the visit that Grossi paid to Iran last week, Araqchi said Iran has once again proved its goodwill and determination to promote cooperation with the IAEA.
On the decision by the UK, France and Germany to table a resolution critical of Iran at the IAEA, the foreign minister warned that if the other parties ignore Iran’s goodwill and interactive approach and press on with their unconstructive measures by issuing an anti-Iranian resolution at the IEAE Board of Governors meeting, Iran will respond in an appropriate and proportional manner.
Araqchi and Grossi also reaffirmed their commitment to proceeding with the course of dialogue and interaction in order to resolve the differences, work on the other issues on the agenda, and avoid unconstructive and confrontational attitudes.
