Gribabadi: We will not allow the IAEA to visit until the permanent end of the war.
Kazem Garibabadi, the legal deputy of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, says that the purpose of the IAEA's request to visit Iran's damaged nuclear sites is probably to check the "level of effectiveness of American weapons."
This Iranian Foreign Ministry official said in an interview with Iran TV's special news program, "We will not allow the Atomic Agency access to the nuclear facilities" until Iran's seven conditions are implemented and the war permanently ended.
According to this Iranian source, "Iran is a member of UNPTI, but the agency acted politically and did not fulfill mutual obligations... And as long as the war does not end and America does not fulfill its obligations, the agency's approach will not be established."
Tehran did not allow the IAEA inspectors to return to any of Iran's nuclear facilities that were targeted by the Israeli and US hostage attacks. In its latest report, the UN nuclear watchdog acknowledged that the US strikes and captures had created "unprecedented conditions", but demanded that Iran allow UN inspectors to gradually return to the country's nuclear facilities.
Mr. Garibabadi also said about the negotiation process between Iran and the United States that has been going on for the past few weeks through Qatari and Pakistani officials, that Iran's plan has been reduced from seven days to two days and that this plan can be implemented in two days, "but its realization depends on the practical action of the United States."
Mr. Garibabadi said: "America's answers to Iran's conditions are not an operation." In its responses, America rejected the implementation of some of Iran's conditions for the future, which would not lead to understanding with this situation. The legal deputy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said about America's new plan to increase pressure on Iran's land borders as well as trade exchanges through the Caspian Sea: "America wants to increase its infiltration into the Caspian Sea region, and we have given the necessary warnings and are in contact with the countries of the Caspian region."
