Vienna (IP)- Kazem Gharibabadi, the Iranian ambassador to the Vienna-based international organizations, said in response to recent remarks by the IAEA Director-General about Iran's nuclear activities: "Terms such as "breakout” and 'the significant quantity of nuclear material' have no place in IAEA legal documents."

Iran PressEurope: Gharibabadi wrote in a message on his Twitter page on Sunday that drawing up self-made criteria such as "breakout" and "the significant quantity of nuclear material" was irrelevant for countries under uranium enrichment and had no place in IAEA legal documents.

He added: "There are more than 1,300 tons of high-enriched uranium and 300 tons of plutonium in the world, and according to the Agency's safeguards report in 2019, the significant quantity of nuclear material in the world was more than 216,448. If so, we live in a hazardous world!

The Iranian ambassador then asked the question: Can the IAEA's DG. Rafael Grossi tells us how much is the "significant quantity of nuclear material" for the five nuclear-weapon states and countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina? Isn't it better not to measure nuclear activities under safeguards in such a way?!

In an interview with Die Presse International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) head, Rafael Grossi said on Saturday," “In the IAEA we do not talk about breakout time. We look at the significant quantity, the minimum amount of enriched uranium or plutonium needed to make an atomic bomb. Iran does not have this significant quantity at the moment.”
