〰Ismail Baghaei, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

Repeated attacks and threats by the United States against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities not only constitute an obvious violation of the basic principles of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the relevant resolutions of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors, the General Conference, and the UN Security Council, but also reveal America’s deep hostility toward Iran’s scientific progress and the development of its technology.

Iran’s nuclear activities have been fully reported to the International Atomic Energy Agency, in accordance with the relevant obligations regarding the necessary safeguards. Washington’s obsessive focus on the KLANG KALAN mountain region (Kuh Kelang/Koh-e Kelang), where no nuclear activity is carried out, is nothing but a fabricated pretext for aggression, destruction, and sabotage.

In addition, where is the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who is also a candidate to hold the post of United Nations Secretary-General?

The people of Iran, with full resolve and unity, are ready to respond with full force to any hostile action by the United States or any violation of their country’s sovereignty and national security.
