US Representative Makes Anti-Iran Claims at IAEA Board of Governors Meeting

According to webangah News Agency, ‍citing the website of ‌the U.S. Mission ⁣to⁢ international Organizations in Vienna, the‌ delegation stated on Wednesday during today’s IAEA Board of Governors session: ⁤”The⁢ United States appreciates Director General Rafael Grossi for⁢ his May 31 report on verification and monitoring in ⁣Iran under UNSC Resolution 2231.”

Howard Solomon, acting U.S. representative to the IAEA-without acknowledging his own government’s 2018 unilateral breach ‌of UNSC Resolution 2231 and exit from the ⁢2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA)-claimed: “The DG’s report‍ clearly⁣ shows‌ Iran continues accelerating nuclear activities without credible civilian justification, deepening concerns about⁤ Tehran’s true intentions!”

Ignoring Israel’s nuclear arsenal and WMD proliferation in the region, ⁤Solomon⁢ absurdly asserted: “Iran remains the only country worldwide producing 60%⁤ enriched uranium without nuclear weapons-an action with no credible peaceful purpose! The DG stresses Iran’s rapid high-enriched uranium accumulation⁣ poses serious ⁤proliferation‌ concerns that cannot be ignored.”

Solomon added: “The U.S. is⁤ negotiating ⁤a deal allowing us to confidently echo President Trump: ‘Iran will never​ obtain nukes.’ Tehran now has a ⁢clear trust-building opportunity-by ⁤granting greater ‌IAEA clarity; implementing Additional Protocol rather​ of restricting ⁤inspections; halting-not accelerating-high-enrichment ‌production; ‍accepting designated inspectors rather than undermining verification.” He concluded that continued⁢ defiance would only distance Iran⁤ from its ‍goals.

Context: ‍ Iranian officials have repeatedly affirmed ⁤Tehran’s legal right under NPT ‍membership to enrich⁣ uranium for peaceful nuclear energy purposes.
