TEHRAN, Dec 25 ( Asia Free Press): Mohammad Eslami, Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), has stressed that Iran nuclear activities are within the framework and regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), according to media reports.
“Tehran’s nuclear program aims to support the country’s industrial production needs, as well as the needs of Iranian consumers for certain goods,” Eslami was quoted by IRNA as saying.
He also added, “All our nuclear activities are carried out according to the agreements, statutes and regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency.”
“Tehran does not intend to exceed the 60% level of uranium enrichment even,” he said while adding that if the parties to the negotiations in Vienna do not come to an agreement and the United States does not lift its sanctions.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said Iran had reached a solid agreement with the IAEA.
“The new agreement would remove the alleged concerns about Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and would help cooperation between Iran and the UN nuclear agency to make further progress,” Iranian FM claimed.
Hossein also asserted that Iran had had some demands further than the 2015 nuclear agreement – known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in its two proposed texts during recent negotiations in Vienna with G4+1.
Earlier in December, IAEA and Iran reached an agreement to install new surveillance cameras at Iran’s Karaj centrifuge component manufacturing workshop.
