AhlulBayt News Agency: Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, at the 77th Session of the General Assembly, stressed that when addressing Iran's peaceful nuclear program, the facts should not be distorted or presented selectively.

At the 77th Session of the General Assembly on Wednesday, Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations while referring to the fact that there are close relations between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), stated: "All of Iran's nuclear activities have been fully declared and verified by the IAEA"

Iranian Top diplomat further stressed: "The Islamic Republic of Iran, with the highest number of safeguards inspections of its peaceful nuclear program, has a commendable record of cooperation with the IAEA."

The Agency and the Islamic Republic of Iran have close working relationships in a variety of areas. As the Agency has verified and confirmed on several occasions, and there is no proof of diversion of declared nuclear material or activities in Iran."

He went on to note:" However, it is crucial to underscore that when addressing Iran's peaceful nuclear program, the facts should not be distorted or presented selectively."

"However, the Agency's impartiality, independence, and professionalism should never be jeopardized in the context of the safeguard obligations nor influenced by certain parties so all states would enjoy their enshrined rights in the IAEA’s Statute.", Iravani emphasized.

"The Israeli regime has been refusing to sign up for the NPT and abide by the comprehensive safeguards of the IAEA. The Agency must deal with this regime with an unbiased and professional approach. Time to disarm this regime and bring peace and security to the region is now", he stressed.

"The Zionist regime by committing the most barbaric crimes, is slaughtering the defenseless Palestinians. Along with its other negative roles in the region, it has cowardly assassinated our nuclear scientists and sabotaged Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities. These horrific terrorist acts must be categorically condemned by the world community.  This regime must be held responsible and none of those atrocities should be treated with impunity.", stressed Iravani.

He concluded: "Concurrent with the international condemnation of the Israeli regime for threatening to use nuclear weapons, just in last than two months against Iran and lately against Gaza, we categorically condemn this regime for both the possession of weapons of mass destruction and the threat to use them."
