FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “I would not draw any final conclusions saying that the dialogue has failed and deadlocked during the visit (by the IAEA delegation to Iran),” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said.
He added that both Tehran and the P5+1 – which includes the US, the UK, France, China, Russia, and Germany – can still continue diplomatic efforts to resume nuclear talks in order to find a negotiated solution to Iran’s nuclear issue.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich has said Moscow maintains that Iran and the P5+1 will soon agree on the time and venue of the next round of the negotiations.
Lukashevich also welcomed Tehran’s readiness to resume talks concerning its nuclear activities with the P5+1.
“Russia stands for a sooner resumption of the talks aimed at searching of political and diplomatic solutions to issues concerning Iran’s nuclear program,” he noted.
On February 21, a high-ranking delegation from the IAEA came to the Iranian capital for negotiations about further cooperation on Iran’s nuclear program.
The visit was preceded by another trip to Iran by a team of IAEA inspectors on January 29.
Both teams were headed by IAEA Deputy Director General Herman Nackaerts.
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano claimed on Wednesday that both teams had failed to secure an agreement with Iran over the country’s atomic activities as the Islamic Republic had rejected a request by the inspectors to visit a key military site.
On Thursday, Iran’s permanent representative to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, warned against efforts to undermine the country’s interactions with the international nuclear body, insisting that Tehran will continue to collaborate with the UN nuclear agency.
He pointed to the recent visits by high-ranking IAEA delegations to Tehran, noting that the two rounds of multifaceted talks indicated Iran’s goodwill.
The United States, Israel, and some of their allies accuse Iran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear program and have used this pretext to impose international and unilateral sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Iran, however, maintains that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
