Ahmadinejad: IAEA Nuclear Claims, Due to US Pressure
Local Editor
Iranian Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday that as a result of the US pressure, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published claims against Iran.
In an interview with Netherland's Nova TV, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, "The IAEA chief presses claims against our country under pressure from the US government while refusing to provide us with any evidence. Therefore, such comments are merely political rhetoric and lack legalit".
Iranian President also added, "It is widely acknowledged that the IAEA adopts its stances under political pressure from permanent members of the UN Security Council (UNSC) and this accounts for one of the reasons that it has failed to disarm nuclear-armed states and prevent proliferation".
Since the US has long wanted to impose sanctions on Iran against its nuclear program, it took advantage of its position at the IAEA and the UNSC, in order to pressure on both firms to impose the supposed sanctions.
The US imposed sanctions came after claims that Iran's nuclear program is heading towards nuclear armaments and weaponry.
Iranian President, along with all Iranian officials, have proved that Iran's nuclear program is fully monitored by the IAEA and is under the supervision of the UN nuclear watchdog, in addition to being a signatory in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
