Iran urges scrapping of all IAEA resolutions after Amano report
The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations (UN) has called for the scrapping of all anti-Iran resolutions by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in mid-December.
Gholam Ali Khoshrou made the comment at the 17th regular session of the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
Khoshrou added that Iran has complied with a roadmap it signed with the IAEA in mid-July and therefore its nuclear case should be closed down at the IAEA Board of Governors after the agency’s chief, Yukiya Amano, releases his final report on the country in December.
“Iran has implemented all voluntary measures agreed upon in the road map … and expects that after the release of the director general’s final report, the case of all issues related to the past and present [nuclear activities of Iran] be closed at the IAEA Board of Governors in December once and for all,” the envoy noted.
Iran and the P5+1 group of countries – the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany – clinched a nuclear agreement dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in the Austrian capital, Vienna, on July 14.
On the same day, a roadmap for the clarification of outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program was signed by Amano and the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Ali Akbar Salehi, in the Austrian capital.
Also at the same UN session, the IAEA chief hailed the “significant progress” made over Iran’s nuclear program in the past year as a “real success for diplomacy” and welcomed efforts by Iran and the P5+1 group in reaching the agreement.
Amano said the agency is now finalizing its analysis of Iran’s nuclear activities, adding that he will release his final assessment of all outstanding issues with Iran to the Board of Governors by December 15.
He promised that his report will be “factual, objective, and impartial.”
