Iran to Reshape IAEA Cooperation

Iran to Reshape IAEA Cooperation

Politics

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that Tehran will continue cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), but under a new framework aimed at ensuring the security of its nuclear facilities, CE Report quotes Anadolu Agency

Speaking to foreign diplomats in Tehran, Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and said the country’s nuclear program “has always been peaceful and will remain so.” He noted that IAEA cooperation requests will now be reviewed individually by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

Araghchi criticized the ease with which global non-proliferation norms are being violated, calling it a loss for the international community. He also confirmed that Iran has received messages from the U.S. expressing interest in resuming talks and stressed that Tehran is open to negotiations if national interests are protected.

He warned of serious risks to Iran’s nuclear facilities, including the danger of radioactive leaks and unexploded U.S. munitions.

The remarks follow a brief but deadly conflict with Israel that began on June 13 and ended under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire on June 24. The 12-day exchange left at least 606 dead in Iran and 29 in Israel, with thousands more injured on both sides.
