Iran Criticizes IAEA Board's Resolutions as Legally and Technically Flawed

Iran's Mission to the United Nations Office in Vienna has criticized the legal and technical basis of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) reports on Iran, saying normal implementation of safeguards cannot resume under the abnormal circumstances created by attacks on the country's safeguarded nuclear facilities.

Iran (IMNA) - In a message posted on its X account on Saturday, November 14, the Iranian mission also criticized IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi's reporting, arguing that the Board of Governors' (BoG) decisions had been adopted through an abuse of process.

The mission said US-Israeli attacks on Iran had disrupted inspections and forced the IAEA to withdraw its inspectors.

"The IAEA has drawn up its reports for Iran on the basis of BoG resolutions that were technically and legally flawed, adopted through an abuse of process, and whose findings were ultra vires," the mission stated.

It further noted that, as Grossi himself had acknowledged, attacks on Iran's safeguarded nuclear facilities had created unprecedented circumstances, disrupted inspections, forced the Agency to withdraw its inspectors, and made it necessary to take Iran's security concerns into consideration.

"The US erased aggression from biased resolutions, but not its consequences from reality. Facts don't vanish because politics demands!" the mission said.

The Iranian mission stressed that normal implementation of safeguards could not resume under abnormal circumstances, arguing that the Board of Governors must address the root causes of the current situation.

However, it described this as an impossible task as long as the Board embraces the aggressor as one of its members.
