Permanent Representative of Iran to international organisations based in Vienna Kazem Gharibabadi

Iran's Permanent Representative to international organizations based in Vienna has condemned the baseless allegations of the Zionist regime and UAE against the Islamic Republic at the IAEA General Conference.

Iran Press/ Iran news: In a speech at the meeting of IAEA General Conference on Wednesday, Kazem Gharibabadi said: "Iran has clearly shown that it is the main source of security and stability in the West Asia region."

He said: "The Zionist regime of Israel, having a long history of opportunistic policies to divert attention from its brutal and inhumane behaviour against the Palestinian people and other Middle Eastern countries, has been one of the main sources of crisis, instability, suffering and anger in recent history of the region."

Gharibabadi added: "It is ridiculous that a regime that ignores all nuclear non-proliferation treaties and manufactures all kinds of weapons of mass destruction, would shamelessly preach a NPT member state that its supplies and nuclear facilities are under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency."

Elsewhere in his remarks, Iran's Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna noted that despite international community support for the Iran's nuclear deal, the Zionist regime of Israel and its allies have undertaken extensive subversive measures to undermine the achievement. 

"Iran hopes such disappointing efforts will not divert international attention from the crimes and crimes of the Israeli regime and its nuclear weapons program," Gharibabadi said.

He stressed that Israel should abandon all its nuclear weapons and join the NPT without any delay or precondition and subject all its nuclear facilities to full IAEA safeguards.
