The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman says the international Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukiya Amano is on the wrong track regarding Iran's nuclear program.

"Today, Iranian and world public opinion wants to know why the IAEA provided other countries with confidential information in violation of its obligations," Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters in Tehran on Tuesday.

He also questioned the connection between the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists by Israeli-backed agents and an Amano report in which the names of scholars were mentioned.
"
Unfortunately the IAEA director general is taking the wrong path and is discrediting the legal authority of the agency through his politicized behavior," Mehmanparast stated.
"
The most significant duty of the international Atomic Energy Agency and Amano is [nuclear] disarmament... towards which no measures have been taken and every year the countries which advocate human rights spend huge sums of money on boosting and upgrading nuclear weapons," he explained.

Mehmanparast dismissed US allegations that Iran provided the regime of Libya's
late dictator Muammar Gaddafi with chemical weapons and said that Iran is a victim of the chemical weapons that the US and other Western countries supplied Iraq with such weapons during the eight-year Iraqi-imposed war in the 1980s.
He described the allegations as psychological warfare and said Western countries,
 particularly those who on the one hand advocate human rights and on the other hand arm their puppet regimes with nuclear weapons are behind all organized crimes in the world.

On another note, Mehmanparast warned the Arab League (AL) to be mindful of the West's paradoxical approach to the developments in the Middle East region.
"
These behaviors indicate a substandard political approach and attitude. The West is attempting to avert public attention from the main threat to the region," the Mnister said. Regarding the developments in Syria, the Iranian official called on "those countries seeking stability, security, resolution of crises and fulfillment of people's demands" to join hands and help negotiations between Damascus and the opposition.

Mehmanparast warned against any foreign intervention in Syria's internal affairs,
and said countries from outside the Middle East are not interested in the establishment of security and stability in the region.
