Wednesday, 18 August 2021 (YJC)_ The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman underlined the peaceful nature of the country's nuclear program and said the program is fully committed to NPT.
During his remarks on Wednesday, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh underlined the peaceful nature of the country's nuclear program and said the program is fully committed to NPT.
“Iran's nuclear activities are fully in line with its commitments under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA),” he said while adding that “IAEA has been supervising Iran’s nuclear sites and that Iran’s reduction of its nuclear curbs has been done according to mechanisms within the JCPOA.”
He went on to say that Iran's measures have been taken within the framework of the JCPOA and any measure is in response to the widespread violation of the landmark deal and Resolution 2231 by the US and the lack of full compliance of E3.
Khatibzadeh assures the peaceful nature of the nuclear program and said Tehran will fully reverse its remedial measures if all the signatories abide by their commitments and the US removes all its sanctions.
Previously, the U.N. nuclear watchdog claimed in a report that Iran has accelerated its enrichment of uranium to near weapons-grade, switching to two clusters of advanced centrifuges enriching up to 60% purity from one.
However; in July, Iran's representative to the international organizations in Vienna said the country would soon produce enriched uranium metal and that the country had earlier informed the UN nuclear watchdog of the move.
