At first, Islamic regarding this meeting and Raizniha said: We had constructive and face-to-face talks. Last March in Tehran, we published a joint statement that although Iran’s detractors are dissatisfied and suspicious of Iran’s interactions with the agency and try to devalue these actions by slandering them, Mr. Grossi and I believe that this statement is a good basis for relations. We determined this baseline as a roadmap in the negotiations of this period.

He added: We evaluated the March statement as a positive baseline in these negotiations. Although there was this observation that due to the situation, some movements were slowed down and both sides were unhappy, but today there was a hope that we would determine the baseline.

Islami also He stated: Based on the joint statement, we follow our interactions with the agency in three parts; The first part is the cases of the past, these have their own special conditions and are the result of political and external cases and are followed up with their own requirements.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization added : In the first part of the important topic, two places are left, we already had 4 places, and with the interactions of the topic, two places were closed. We are following the issue of the remaining two places in the designated framework.

He continued: The second part is related to the existing situation, which has a plan for the continuation of the agency’s knowledge and considerations in the existing conditions. and take specific steps for the shortcomings and take the necessary measures for coordinated measures in the framework of safeguards and NPT.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization also stated: This matter is important because what is expressed in the media is a result of the indoctrination of the Zionist regime. At this point in time when the nature of this regime has been introduced to the world and a large community of elites have introduced this nature, we must note that this regime has been the supporter of the movements against Iran and should not be the criterion for the follow-up of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Islami added: That is why we agreed to separate these, past, present and future. We will take a coordinated step towards a common and interactive future.

Furthermore, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization said regarding the created capacities and the use of the achievements in people’s lives: since last year, the document We put a 20-year comprehensive strategy on the agenda and it is our road map and it is considered the organization’s road plan. Two of the important axes of this document, one of them is the construction of 20,000 megawatts of nuclear power in the country. Creating 20,000 megawatts of nuclear power will increase the proportion of nuclear power in the energy portfolio to 22%. The most important concern of the world today is zero carbon, and the will of countries is to triple the energy supply plants, we are also paying attention to this issue.

He continued: The second axis, production It is radiopharmaceuticals, which is an important part in the field of health, and also the radiation sector, which we destroy the remaining pests and toxins with irradiation, and it leads to the storage of products. .

Islami, in response to a question regarding the escalation of tensions against Iran and the effect of Grossi’s presence on the resumption of negotiations, said: Mr. Grossi’s presence is in line with the ongoing interactions within the framework of the NPT and safeguards. . Iran has not withdrawn from the JCPOA, and it was America that withdrew and did not fulfill its commitments, and 3 European countries did not take any action accordingly. Iran remained in this treaty in good faith and fulfilled its commitments unilaterally, and now that it has reduced its commitments, our criteria is within the framework of the JCPOA, and it was stipulated in it that if the commitments of the parties are reduced, we will also reduce our commitments. Another important point is the strategic law of sanctions removal and our actions are carried out based on it. Mr. Grossi is aware of these considerations and frameworks. Of course, Grossi can also play a political role in terms of his legal status, and one of the parts of our conversation in the third part of this discussion It is political interactions that can have reciprocal effects.
