The Iranian foreign ministry says the Islamic Republic has started activating new advanced centrifuges in response to the new anti-Tehran resolution adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors (BoG) on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, IRNA reports.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and the Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a joint statement in the early hours of Friday, slamming the resolution at the IAEA against the country’s peaceful nuclear program.
The statement termed the resolution as a politically-motivated, unrealistic, and a counterproductive measure.
These steps are being taken to protect Iran’s interests and further develop the peaceful nuclear energy, in line with the growing national needs.
It is clear, the steps are being taken to protect the country’s interests and further develop the peaceful nuclear energy, in line with the growing national needs and within the framework of Iran’s rights and obligations under the Safeguards Agreement, it noted
The statement underlined as well that Iran remains steadfast in pursuing its principled policy of protecting the rights and interests of the great Iranian nation and developing nuclear program for peaceful purposes.
