Iran announces suspension of 18 IAEA surveillance cameras

Tehran-Sana

The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, announced that 18 International Atomic Energy Agency surveillance cameras have been suspended outside the framework of the safeguards agreement.

"We installed new centrifuges and started pumping uranium gas into them, and we will announce other measures in response to the behavior of the International Atomic Energy Agency," Eslami said.

Eslami added that "the behavior of the International Atomic Energy Agency with Iran is political and illegal," noting in this context that "the Israeli entity does not abide by the resolutions and does not allow inspection of its nuclear facilities."

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran continued, "We will accept the inspectors of the Atomic Energy Agency, according to specific controls, to monitor our activities," adding: "We cannot trust the United States and Europe forever, and if they return to their obligations, we will fulfill our obligations."

Eslami stressed that Iran will never tolerate political and illegal behavior affected by the plans of the Zionist entity, and will not yield to pressure and psychological warfare.

Earlier today, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi confirmed that issuing any anti-Iranian resolution in the International Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors based on politicized positions would not make it retract its positions, stressing that issuing such resolutions did not work and did not achieve any goal.
