Mohammad Eslami: Damaged Nuclear Sites Have Been Reorganized
The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization says that damaged nuclear sites and facilities have been reorganized, and the activities of these centers are being carried out according to the Strategic Action Law to lift sanctions.
The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization told domestic media about the “reorganization” of “damaged” nuclear sites and facilities, stating: “The activities of these centers are being carried out in quantitative and qualitative terms according to the Strategic Action Law to lift sanctions.”
Mohammad Eslami, referring to the Vienna talks on reviving the JCPOA, said that “technical topics and discussions” have been completed and specified, with only “political issues” remaining “which are the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
However, four days earlier, Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, had announced that if an agreement is not reached in Vienna, “surveillance camera data from the IAEA will likely be deleted.”
On April 17, referring to “sabotage operations” at nuclear sites, he stated: “Unfortunately, due to the terrorist operation that took place at the Karaj facility, we were forced to intensify certain security measures, meaning we relocated an important portion of the machines, and we transferred the remainder to Natanz and previously to Isfahan.”
Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, on April 15 reported on verifying JCPOA implementation by installing surveillance cameras of the agency at the Natanz nuclear facility after the transfer of centrifuge production machines from Karaj to Natanz.
In response to these statements, Mohammad Reza Ghaebi, caretaker of the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic to international organizations, emphasized that the IAEA still has no access to the memory data of the installed cameras, and as long as Iran does not return to implementing the JCPOA, the relevant data will not be provided to the IAEA and will be stored with Iran.
