The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) has reaffirmed that Tehran has not and will not impede inspection of its nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

A senior Iranian official says head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi's admission of Israeli nuclear weapons tasks him and the agency with a heavy responsibility. 

Iran has urged the European parties to the 2015 nuclear accord to abandon their campaign of pressure against Iran and make real efforts to save the deal.

Iran says it does not hesitate to respond to unconstructive measures targeting its nuclear program, but is still prepared to continue constructive cooperation with the IAEA.

Iran will negotiate and interact with Western countries about its nuclear program but will never be blackmailed, Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref says.

The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry has emphasized that the country’s peaceful nuclear program is “fully transparent” and conducted under the continuous monitoring of the UN nuclear agency.

Iran’s deputy foreign minister has reportedly warned that the Islamic Republic could walk out of the NPT should the so-called snapback mechanism be activated.
