Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, criticized a resolution against Iran adopted by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The resolution was drafted by Western countries and represents a contentious point in ongoing negotiations. Gharibabadi stated that referring Iran’s nuclear file to the UN Security Council would be unproductive and achieve no positive outcome. This response comes amid heightened tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and inspections by the IAEA. The Iranian official’s comments suggest Tehran anticipates the move as largely symbolic and unhelpful in resolving the current impasse. The situation remains delicate, with international concerns focused on the potential for nuclear proliferation in Iran. This action by the IAEA Board of Governors is likely to further complicate diplomatic efforts.
