Tehran, Nov 10 (ANI): Iran has said the latest report released by the UN nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), on Tehran's nuclear ambitions has been influenced by the United States and other western nations.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said that latest IAEA report on Iran differs significantly from previous ones, as it evidently reveals the political goals and pressures of certain countries trying to wage a psychological war on Iran for its nuclear activities.
The spokesman said that the report is in line with US allegations that Iran is after nuclear weapons.
He noted that the main goal of anti-Iran acts is to divert world public attention from recent developments in the Middle East and of Israel's actions.
"Certain countries, especially the United States, are trying to use IAEA as a tool for their illegitimate objectives," Xinhua quoted Mehmanparas, as saying.
"As expected, unfortunately, after the coordination between the IAEA Director General (Yukiya Amano) and American officials, the report was released which is totally unreal," he added.
Mehmanparast said that the IAEA, instead of following its legal obligations over Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), has been drawn into a political game.
"Our nuclear program and peaceful nuclear activities are being continued under NPT and we have not stopped our cooperation with IAEA. We have cooperated (with IAEA) completely and we have proved our goodwill for times," he added. (ANI)
