Iran Warns IAEA Cooperation Threatened by Political Pressure
Updated June 04, 2025
Iran has cautioned that politically motivated actions by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could jeopardize continued cooperation regarding its peaceful nuclear program. This warning follows an IAEA report raising concerns about Iran’s nuclear activities.
Kazem gharibabadi,a high-ranking Iranian official,conveyed this message on X,formerly known as Twitter. He stated that actions influenced by certain governments regarding alleged issues from over two decades ago could create “serious problems” for ongoing collaboration between Iran and the IAEA. The core issue revolves around Iran’s uranium enrichment program and access to nuclear sites.
While Iran has maintained IAEA access based on safeguards obligations, Gharibabadi indicated that this situation is unsustainable if political pressures persist. He emphasized Iran’s commitment to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and its extensive cooperation with the agency to fulfill its obligations.
Gharibabadi said he met with ambassadors from IAEA member states, including representatives from Russia, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France, to address their questions and concerns. He voiced hope that the IAEA’s Board of Governors would adopt a constructive approach and resist any political actions that might disrupt cooperation.
The IAEA’s recent report claimed Iran had not reported nuclear activities at three undeclared locations and expressed concerns about the contry’s stockpile of uranium enriched up to 60% purity. Iran refuted the report, dismissing it as based on fabricated data provided by the Zionist regime, dating back more than two decades. Iran maintains that all accusations regarding its past nuclear activities were terminated under United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231, which endorsed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Extensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“Any politically motivated action by some governments in the Board of Governors regarding two unproven alleged issues related to more than two decades ago could, despite Iran’s principled policy, pose serious problems for the full continuation of the path of cooperation between Iran and the Agency regarding Iran’s current activities,” Gharibabadi said.
gharibabadi also asserted that the IAEA, under political pressure, has become a tool against iran, reviving old, unsubstantiated issues for political exploitation. The future of Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA hinges on the agency’s ability to resist external political pressures and maintain a constructive approach to monitoring Iran’s nuclear program.
what’s next
the IAEA’s Board of Governors will likely discuss the report and Iran’s response in upcoming meetings. The outcome of these discussions could significantly impact the future of the iran nuclear deal and international efforts to monitor Iran’s nuclear activities.
