A senior Iranian diplomat says some countries are trying to disrupt Iran's relations with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and are using IAEA as a political tool to achieve their colonialist goals.
“Although Iran has always emphasized [the priority] of technical issues and has never taken a political approach [to nuclear talks], some [countries], most notably the Zionist regime [of Israel], the US and certain European leaders aim to use the agency as a political tool to achieve their goal,” Hossein Sheikholeslam said on Tuesday.
The diplomat, who is adviser to Iran's Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani on international affairs, added that Iran has had the highest level of cooperation with IAEA officials and inspectors, Majlis official news agency, ICANA, reported.
“Frequent inspections of Iran's nuclear sites by [IAEA] inspectors confirm Islamic Republic's honest cooperation with the agency. However, some [countries] are trying…to set the direction of the agency’s reports in line with their own policies and interests,” he added.
Sheikholeslam further stated that despite Iran's cooperation, enemies of the country are trying to show that the relations between Tehran and the agency are not normal.
He added that by providing false information and under the influence of anti-Iranian terrorist groups such as Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), these countries are trying to influence the agency’s reports on Iran's nuclear program and claim that it is not peaceful.
The Iranian diplomat said the same countries are trying to influence Iran's multifaceted talks with the group P5+1 - comprising the US, the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany.
