Gribbadi: 70% of the agency's tests were carried out in Iran, but the director general did not even condemn the ground attack on our defense facilities / If we had nuclear weapons, they would not remain hidden.
Kazem Garibabadi, Deputy Minister for Legal and International Affairs, said in a special news report:
🔹 Our nuclear facilities were subject to an American ground attack in the 12-day war - in which equipment related to enrichment was targeted - and then in the 40-day war - in which several facilities not related to enrichment were also damaged; These attacks are completely against international law, the United Nations Charter, the Agency's Regulations and the decisions of the General Conference of the Agency, the Board of Governors and the Security Council regarding the immunity of nuclear facilities within the defense system. Referring to the complete transparency of Iran's nuclear program before these attacks, the deputy foreign minister added: We informed about all the nuclear facilities that we were required to declare to the agency, and all the facilities that America approached were under the supervision of the agency, and inspectors visited them; Before the agency's access was cut off, about 70% of the IAEA's inspections were conducted in the Islamic Republic of Iran, and two-thirds of the IAEA's inspectors were active only in Iran, as I told the agency's director general and several countries during the time of the embassy and the permanent representation in Vienna to call this organization the "Atomic Energy Agency of Iran, with the Atomic Energy Agency of Iran", 70% of its activity will be lost. Rejecting the claims made by Washington and Tel Aviv for several decades about Iran's nuclear program being a weapon, Garibabadi clarified: for more than three to four decades, they claimed that Iran was looking for nuclear weapons, while the philosophy of nuclear weapons is to create deterrence and it was still not possible to attack nuclear weapons and it was still subject to nuclear weapons. not perform tests; This was a claim that has never been proven, and it was made by Israel - which is not a party to any of the treaties on microbial, chemical and nuclear weapons of mass destruction and has atomic weapons - and the US, which has a history of using these weapons against the Japanese people.
While we responded to them on other fronts and targeted their interests and bases, the question arises what will be the role of the agency as a neutral institution; Even if we leave aside the issue of condemnation by the 35-member governing council due to its political nature, the least the agency's director general could have done was to condemn these attacks, which he did not do.
