The United States called on the Iranian regime to respect the nuclear commitments established with the Atomic Energy Agency

UNITED STATES He said on Tuesday that he hopes the Iranian regime will respect the agreement reached with the international atomic energy agency (IAEA).

“We call on Iran to fully comply with its legally binding obligations under its Safeguards agreement with the IAEA“, said the spokesman of the state department WE, Ned Price.

The manager stressed the importance of following through on the plan: “We have complete faith and confidence that the IAEA will monitor Iran’s compliance or non-compliance, as the case may be,” he said.

“We will judge Iran by its actions, no less. And we hope, like the IAEA, that Iran will honor the commitments it has made according to this joint statement,” he added.

Price, who repeated that Iran’s nuclear program “is a threat and a challenge” for Washington and its partners in the regionas well as for countries around the world, stressed the role of diplomacy as a “permanent, lasting and verifiable” solution.

The Iranian authorities and the international body announced on Saturday an agreement to apply new control mechanisms which guarantee the civilian character of the Iranian nuclear program and reactivate previously suspended mechanisms, such as the operation of surveillance cameras at various nuclear facilities.

Director General of the IAEA, Raphael Grossiapplauded this Monday the agreement reached during his visit to Tehran and affirmed that it is “very important” to “establish a new base, necessary if Iran resumes the application of its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal″.

Iran announced the withdrawal of its commitments on several points of the 2015 nuclear agreement after the United States unilaterally withdrew from the pact in 2018. Iranian authorities have argued that these measures can be reversed if Washington withdraws sanctions and returns to the agreement.

Iran’s concessions to the head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog when he visits Tehran this weekend largely depends on future negotiationsRafael Grossi admitted, retracting some comments he made upon his return.

Two days before the meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agencymade up of 35 countries, the IAEA and Iran said they had agreed to move forward on a number of issues, including an investigation into the uranium particles found in three undeclared locations in long-paralyzed Tehran.

Announcing the apparent progress in a joint statement on Saturday, which did not go into detail, appears to have been enough to prevent the western pressure in favor of another resolution like the one approved at the last quarterly meeting of the Council, in which Iran is called upon to cooperate in the investigation of the traces of uranium.

Iran is often opposed to such resolutions and has reacted in the past by accelerating the very nuclear activities the 2015 deal was intended to curb.
