Lavrov: Grossi demands to monitor Iran’s uranium without guaranteeing its data will not leak

Tehran - BORNA - Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.) Rafael Grossi has urged Iran to present information on the location its enriched uranium is being kept without guaranteeing such sensitive information will not leak.

At a recent meeting in Vienna, Grossi asked Iran to allow the I.A.E.A. to verify that the material remains under safeguards.

Lavrov said the U.N. nuclear watchdog, which searched and found nothing, now it demands Iran to show where its uranium is located, without any guarantee that such sensitive information won’t leak.

He said that after Israel’s attacks on Iran, Grossi acknowledged that they have no evidence whatsoever that the Islamic Republic is in any way starting a military nuclear program.

The Russian minister also referred to the role of Europe in this respect, saying that Europeans bear a share of the blame for the Israeli regime’s aggression against Iran.

He said that the West has serious influence on secretariates of international organizations and have privatized them to some extent because Western staff of these bodies do not adhere to the requirement of neutrality and the prohibition of receiving instructions from any government.

The minister also condemned the Israeli regime’s aggression against Iran, saying that there is no fact and figure at all that Tehran has ever taken hostile actions against Israel.

Moreover, Lavrov described Israel-U.S. aggression against Iran as the blatant violation of the charters of the United Nations and the I.A.E.A., as well as U.N. resolutions.
