Iranian ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Kazem Gharib-Abadi

Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said because the United Arab Emirates' nuclear program is completely imported and is not based on indigenous capacities and knowledge, it is a cause of great concern in terms of security and safety.

Iran Press/EuropeKazem Gharib-Abadi said in the latest meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors that the Zionist regime has been one of the main opponents of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and it has been taking advantage of every opportunity to destroy the landmark mutilateral agreement.

Iran's top diplomat went on to say that since the Zionist regime has pressured other countries but without much success, it has now focused its attention on the International Atomic Energy Agency more than ever before, Iran Press reported.

Referring to the fact that the Zionist regime's handover of fake documents to the IAEA is not something new, Gharib-Abadi stressed that it is regrettable that the regime, which has been developing all kinds of weapons of mass destruction, is trying to resort to any tool so that it could steal the attention of the public opinion and the international community from the real origin of threats to peace, the regional and the international security and stability so that it could portray Iran's peaceful civilian nuclear program as threatening.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he said the Islamic Republic of Iran wants to have the best ever relations and ties with the Persian Gulf states like the existing good relations and it welcomes any suggestion for dialogue and settlement of disputes.

"Unfortunately, this is a rather frustrating fact that for some Middle Eastern countries such as United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, continuation of war and tension is essential for their survival," said Gharib-Abadi, expressing hope that they too will act wisely. 

Gharib-Abadi said the UAE's nuclear program, is completely imported, and it is not based on indigenous abilities, resources and knowledge within the country.

"That is why we are really concerned about the security as well as the safety of such a nuclear program," he continued.

As the rules of the International Atomic Energy Agency say, Gharib-Abadi concluded that the involved countries would be held accountable.
