The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and the Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a joint statement in the early hours of Friday, slamming the resolution at the IAEA against the country’s peaceful nuclear program.
The statement termed the resolution as a politically-motivated, unrealistic, and counterproductive measure.
In response, the statement noted that the head of AEOI has ordered effective steps, including the launch of a noticeable number of new and advanced centrifuges of different types.
It is clear, the steps are being taken to protect the country's interests and further develop peaceful nuclear energy, in line with the growing national needs and within the framework of Iran's rights and obligations under the Safeguards Agreement, it noted.
The statement added that the technical and safeguards cooperation with the IAEA will continue, as in the past, as had agreed upon by the Agency and Iran.
Tehran is well-prepared for constructive engagement with relevant parties based on international legal principles and standards, it further noted.
The statement also underlined that Iran remains steadfast in pursuing its principled policy of protecting the rights and interests of the great Iranian nation and developing a nuclear program for peaceful purposes
The principled policy of the Islamic Republic has always been based on constructive interaction with the Agency within the framework of the rights and duties set out under the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Safeguards Agreement, it underscored.
