Iran Press/ Iran News: "Board of Governors should not allow JCPOA enemies to jeopardize Iran's supreme interests," Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote in a tweet on Thursday.
Addressing the three European signatories to the Iran Nuclear Deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran's Foreign Minister said: "E3 should not be an accessory, after failing own JCPOA duties. We've nothing to hide. More inspections in Iran over the last 5 years than in IAEA history."
In his tweet, Zarif also posted a screenshot of a page showing the number of complementary accesses to Iran's nuclear facilities.
More inspections in Iran over the last 5 years than in IAEA history: Zarif
"An agreeable solution is possible, but a resolution will ruin it," Zarif warned.
France, Britain and Germany, the three European parties to Iran’s nuclear deal with major powers, have submitted a draft resolution to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors calling on Iran to provide access for the agency to two old sites, diplomats taking part in the virtual meeting said on Thursday.
Diplomats said that Iran’s ally Russia told the board it saw no need for a resolution but China voiced clear opposition, prompting the board’s chairwoman to call an in-person meeting on Friday for further discussions and possibly a vote.
China said that pressing what it called a 'non-urgent' issue with a resolution could eventually lead to action by the UN Security Council and 'the ultimate termination' of the JCPOA.
Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi recently made anti-Iranian allegations, claiming that Tehran had refused to grant access to the two nuclear sites.
In the meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors on Thursday over the IAEA Director General's report on Iran and NPT via video conference, Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Kazem Gharibiabadi said: "Iran acknowledges the IAEA's right for asking legitimate questions, seeking transparency or demand of access for its mission; Meanwhile, Iran also emphasizes its right as a member state to request that the IAEA provide solid evidence and supporting documents and arguments in this regard."
