‘Politicized reports increase UNSC involvement in IAEA affairs’
TEHRAN, June 11 (MNA) -- Politically-motivated reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency assist certain Western countries with their “dangerous plot” to increasingly involve the UN Security Council in the affairs of the IAEA and diminish the status of the UN nuclear watchdog body, the Iranian ambassador to the IAEA has said.
Ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh made the remarks during an address to a meeting of the 35-member IAEA Board of Governors in Vienna on June 9 in response to IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano’s statement on June 6, in which he claimed Iran seems to have carried out nuclear-related activities with possible military links until recently.
Following are excerpts of Soltanieh’s statement:
The report (GOV/2011/29) is not balanced and factual since it has not duly reflected the extensive cooperation made by the Islamic Republic of Iran, the contents of letters and explanations to the questions of or communication made with the agency.
It is obvious that all nuclear activities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the past and present have been for peaceful purposes and have been and will be continuously subject to full scope Comprehensive Surveillance. Therefore any other information questioning the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities is forged, fabricated, false and baseless.
I have heard from open source that the DG (director general) has taken his unjustified and partial hasty position, in pursuing the willingness of couple of Western countries.
In case of the IAEA, I have to advise DG to exercise maximum vigilance in his reports to avoid making any polarization and or creating confrontation among member states and preventing involvement of other bodies or organizations such as the UNSC which leads to downgrading the authority of the IAEA.
I assure that political pressures, sanctions, threat of attacks against nuclear installations, cyber-attacks, and assassination of nuclear scientists by terrorists, would not stop Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities.
In fact, the proponents of UNSC resolutions, specifically the United States and couple of EU members have targeted people especially cancerous patients by prevention of radioisotope exports and refraining from delivering the fuel to the passenger planes.
The hidden agenda is to increase the involvement of UN Security Council in the IAEA affairs and undermine its authority.
Regretfully the unbalanced inconclusive reports of DG prior to completion of investigations based on “nuclear material verification” being concluded on the basis of the invalidated and unauthenticated information from U.S. and Israeli intelligence services have created confusions and miss-interpretations and have facilitated this dangerous plot as we are witnessing in the case of Syria.
Since the official declaration of the former prime minister of the Zionist regime of possession of nuclear weapons… I had in several occasions demanded DG to pursue appropriate measures including sending fact-find mission to Israel to clarify who is telling the truth.
According to open sources uranium is exported to non-NPT members and the Zionist regime of Israel. I demand DG to thoroughly review and report the uranium capacity and the accurate amount of uranium exported and the list of recipients.
Iran thanks NAM
The Iranian ambassador also thanked the Non-Aligned Movement for the statement it issued on Wednesday, in which it expressed support for Amano’s request that the agency should submit the documents related to the alleged weapons studies to Iran.
Soltanieh disapproves of IAEA resolution on Syria
Elsewhere in his remarks, Soltanieh strongly criticized the UN nuclear watchdog board for reporting Syria to the Security Council on June 9 for alleged covert atomic work.
With 17 votes in favor and six against, the IAEA board adopted the Western-backed resolution rebuking the Arab state for allegedly stonewalling an agency probe into the Dair Alzour complex bombed by Israel in 2007, Reuters reported.
It was the first time the governing board of the IAEA referred a country to the Security Council since it sent Iran’s file there five years ago.
Soltanieh said, “The IAEA is facing a crisis of legitimacy by continuous involvement of the UNSC and weakness of the secretariat to perform professionally as mandated by the general conference. The Board of Governors is deviating from the right path.”
