In his statement, Kazem Gharibabadi further asserted that the repeated mention of the “60 per cent” uranium enrichment and the “presentation of potential scenarios regarding weapons, without a precise explanation of the legal framework, is more political than technical”.

The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) “does not stipulate a numerical ceiling for enrichment percentages; the legal criterion is the absence of diversion of nuclear materials and activities toward military purposes”, the diplomat highlighted.

“Iran’s nuclear programme has been peaceful, and Iran has acted within the framework of its legal obligations,” he stressed.
