BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. All scandals that
exist with Iran's nuclear program are the result of fabricated
excuses, Iranian Vice President and Chairman of the Atomic Energy
Organization Mohammad Eslami told reporters following a cabinet
meeting in Tehran today, Trend reports.
According to him, the fate of these scandals depends on the
discussion of lifting the sanctions imposed on Iran. The discussion
on lifting the sanctions imposed against the country has been
entrusted to Iran's Foreign Ministry.
Eslami noted that the International Atomic energy Agency (IAEA)
Director General Rafael Grossi has shown interest in meeting with
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. This meeting needs
coordination, and the meeting will take place following the
protocol.
Meanwhile, in January 2016, Iran and the P5+1 group (the US,
Russia, China, the UK, France, and Germany) implemented the
Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action concerning Iran's nuclear
program.
In May 2018, the US announced its withdrawal from the deal and
reimposed sanctions on Iran.
By the end of 2020, the Iranian parliament decided to pursue a
strategic plan in the nuclear sector to counter the sanctions,
leading to a suspension of additional steps and the Additional
Protocol as per the nuclear agreement.
Consequently, the International Atomic Energy Agency faced a
reduction in monitoring capabilities by 20–30 percent.
