Why it matters:
Iran has consistently protested the IAEA's political approach towards its peaceful nuclear program. The timing of the Board's resolution, which was passed just one day before Israel's attack on Iran, raises suspicions about the motivations behind these actions.
The big picture:
Iran has expressed concerns over the leakage of information regarding its nuclear activities through the IAEA to Israeli regime. The Iranian government believes that this information leak has led to the assassination of several of its nuclear scientists. Furthermore, actions taken by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in recent years have exacerbated Iran's distrust, prompting the country to seek a new framework for its cooperation with the agency.
What he is saying:
Araghchi stated, "The Deputy Director General of Grossi will come to Tehran tomorrow, and there is no plan for a visit to any location until we reach a framework." He emphasized that negotiations with the IAEA will take place tomorrow to establish a framework for cooperation, which will be based on the laws of the Iranian Parliament.
Key points:
- The IAEA's recent resolution against Iran has heightened tensions.
- Iran's concerns about information leaks have serious implications for its national security.
- The upcoming negotiations aim to redefine Iran's cooperation with the IAEA.
