(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 4. Tehran will
definitely respond to the approval of the anti-Iranian resolution
on the nuclear program, Vice President of Iran and head of the
Atomic energy Organization of Iran Mohammad Eslami told reporters
in the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, located in western Iran,
Trend reports.
"Tehran will definitely respond to the approval of the
anti-Iranian resolution on the nuclear program," he said.
He said the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran is following
parliament's strategic action plan. It values its operations within
the Agreement on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
Weapons.
"The opposing sides have not fulfilled their commitments under
the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian
nuclear program, and Iran, in turn, has reduced its commitments.
Currently, Iran is in a phase of reducing commitments," Eslami
noted.
The Vice President noted that the parties to the JCPOA, as well
as the US, which withdrew from the agreement, did not fulfill their
obligations.
"Moreover, the US does not allow other countries to cooperate
with Iran. According to Article 36 of the JCPOA, Iran has the legal
right to reduce its obligations if the parties withdraw from the
agreement, do not return to the agreement, and do not fulfill their
obligations," he added.
Under Article 26 of the nuclear deal, if one party fails to
fulfill its obligations, the other party may suspend its
obligations in whole or in part. Under Article 36 of the nuclear
agreement, if Iran believes that the 5+1 group has not fulfilled
its obligations under the agreement, it can raise this issue in the
joint commission.
The Comprehensive Plan of Joint Action on Iran's Nuclear Program
was executed in January 2016 by Iran and the P5+1 group (the United
States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany).
The United States declared in May 2018 that it was withdrawing from
the plan and slapped sanctions on Iran in November of the same
year. Iran stated that there would be no constraints on the Iran
nuclear agreement until 2020.
The Iranian parliament established a strategic strategy to
oppose the sanctions in late 2020, citing the failure to meet the
Joint Comprehensive Strategy of Action (JCPOA) signed by Iran and
six other nations, as well as the imposition of sanctions against
Iran.
In late 2020, the Iranian parliament adopted a strategic plan to
counter the sanctions, citing the non-fulfillment of the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed between Iran and six
countries and the imposition of sanctions on Iran. Based on the
decision of the Iranian parliament, as of February 23, Iran stopped
the implementation of additional measures and an additional
protocol included in the nuclear deal. As a consequence, the
monitoring mechanism of the IAEA was reduced by 20–30 percent.
