Iran pushes back against IAEA claims as US responds to nuclear deal proposal
As it reviews the latest US response about returning to the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran is refuting the International Atomic Energy Agency's claims about its previous nuclear activities.
Iran said Wednesday it had received a US response on its latest proposal as part of efforts to revive the nuclear deal.
"This evening Iran received, through the [European Union] coordinator, the US response to Iran’s comments. The careful study of the views of the American side has started and Iran will share its comments with the coordinator upon completion of the review,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said in a statement.
Earlier in the day while Tehran was awaiting the response, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency pushed back against the United Nations' nuclear watchdog.
At a press conference today, Mohammad Islami said, “From the beginning, Iran’s nuclear activities have been [in compliance with] the International Atomic Energy Agency’s guidelines and regulations.” He added that all of Iran’s nuclear activities have been “under IAEA supervision.”
