Iran’s FM: IAEA targets pressure against Iran

 IAEA targets pressure against Iran, Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, has stated during a joint news conference with his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian in Yerevan. Ali Akbar Salehi was once Iran’s permanent representative in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“I’m comprehensively informed about all the details of Iran’s nuclear affairs, and I’m claiming that Iran’s nuclear issue is a political deal, if it were a technical or practical problem, we would settle it on mutual understanding mediated by IAEA,” said Iran’s senior statesman.

“We’ve never behaved like that in the international affairs,” said the FM adding their opinions and positions are clear, strong and united.

Iran’s FM quoted Iranian President and Minister of Defense as stating that their policy and procedures don’t target nuclear weapon as a preventive weapon. “If we wished to produce a nuclear weapon, we would declare about it and we would do it, and our experience displays that nuclear weapon isn’t a preventive thing for countries like ours,” said the Iranian diplomat.
