In a statement on Friday, Baqaei described the recent anti-Iran resolution as a clear misuse of an international institution to advance the nuclear-related objectives of the United States and three European countries.

He described the move as completely irresponsible and unjustifiable, adding that it disregards the working criteria and procedures of the IAEA and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

He added that the resolution damages the independence and credibility of the IAEA, reducing it to a political lever for pressuring certain member states.

The Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that the resolution made no mention of the root causes of the current situation.

Baqaei noted that neither the resolution nor the statements read by the three European countries and the United States acknowledged the critical fact that the Israeli regime and the US attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities in mid-June, an illegal act which was the direct reason for the cessation of some of Iran’s cooperative measures with the Agency.

He said that the resolution has itself created a division within the Board of Governors, with nearly half of the countries voting against it or abstaining.

He highlighted that two permanent members of the UNSC, China and Russia, which had previously opposed attempts to reinstate canceled Security Council resolutions, voted against this resolution.

Baqaei noted that the resolution is legally weak because it is based on a plan that the three European countries had previously pursued at the UNSC, a plan considered null and void by Iran and a significant part of the international community, including the two permanent Security Council members.

In response to this confrontational action, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson declared that Iran has officially notified the IAEA via a formal letter that the understanding known as the Cairo memorandum of understanding, which was achieved through Iran’s goodwill and relatively lengthy negotiations with the Agency, is now considered canceled.

He further said that other responsive actions are also being considered.

Addressing the claims made by the United States and the three European countries, Baqaei termed them as completely deceitful and hypocritical.

He added that the opposing parties have repeatedly violated their commitments and have shown no sincerity in their claims of using diplomacy to resolve the issue.

Thr Foreign Ministry spokesperson argued that the issuance of the resolution signifies an opposition to a diplomatic solution and a reliance on pressure and sanctions, making their claims impossible to take seriously due to their complete contradiction with their actual behavior.
