Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Vienna has issued a statement slamming a resolution adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) demanding that Tehran open up its nuclear sites for inspection.

“Today, [the IAEA] Board of Governors adopted with a shaky vote, another political resolution on Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities; devoid of professionalism expected from a technical body,” it says in a post on X.

“How can the IAEA be trusted when instrumentalised by warmongers, and decapacitated in a way that is not even able to express a simple concern over the most extensive unlawful armed attacks — unprecedented in its history — on peaceful safeguarded nuclear facilities of a member state?”

The mission claims the IAEA resolution hypocritically expressed support for a diplomatic solution, while the US engaged in further acts of aggression against Iran.

“[A] diplomatic solution needs a minimum [of] good faith,” it adds. “Iran will protect its inalienable rights, including in response to this flawed resolution.”
