FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “The deployment of hundreds of the US tactical nuclear weapons in EU states is a blatant violation of the NPT by the US and the host countries,” Iran’s ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Ali Asghar Soltanieh, said during the first session of the NPT Preparatory Committee in Vienna on Monday.
He added that countries which possess nuclear weapons, particularly the US, France, and Britain, have repeatedly breached their commitments to the NPT.
The Iranian ambassador strongly criticized the nuclear cooperation between the US and certain EU countries, such as France and Britain, with the Zionist regime of Israel, stressing that such cooperation violates the commitments of these countries to NPT regulations.
Soltanieh renewed Iran’s commitment to the NPT, saying, “The Islamic Republic believes that this treaty can play a role in international peace and security if fully implemented.”
The Iranian envoy also expressed concerns over the IAEA’s “baseless accusations” about the peaceful nuclear activities of its member states, saying, “One of the main concerns of the states parties to the treaty is the increase of baseless allegations against the peaceful nuclear activities of other states parties through forging documents and disseminating false information, including those unfounded allegations made in the statements of the EU.
“These allegations have significant consequences, in particular political and economic damages to the relevant state parties. In this context, the agency must be very vigilant in dealing with open source information, baseless allegations, and the authenticity of the documents presented. The IAEA must not build its verification activities on unreliable and fake evidence.”
He also urged the IAEA to prevent leaks of confidential information about member states’ nuclear activities.
“The agency should also strengthen its confidentiality policies in order to prevent any leakage of sensitive and confidential information of member states. Leakage of information of the IAEA is a matter of serious concern since such information is directly related to information received during the performance of agency’s verification and inspection in a member state; the release of such confidential information, therefore, shall jeopardize the national security of member states and that of individuals working with inspectors. Therefore, it has direct impact on the mutual trust between member states and the secretariat and thus on verification activities of the IAEA,” he added.
Soltanieh’s warning echoed Tehran’s criticism of the agency over the assassinations of several Iranian nuclear scientists. Iran says IAEA leaks of sensitive information led to the murders.
Iranian scientists Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, Daryoush Rezaeinejad, Professor Majid Shahriari, and Professor Masoud Ali-Mohammadi were all killed in terrorist actions.
