Speaking on the sidelines of the international conference “International Law under Assault,” Gharibabadi said the European troika and the United States have circulated a draft resolution at the IAEA Board of Governors that includes three demands.

According to him, the text calls for Iran’s uranium enrichment to be suspended, for Iran not to re-engage in reprocessing, and for Tehran to enter into talks with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus one with good faith.

“We are not enriching [uranium] at this juncture, so what exactly is the West worried about?” he asked.

Gharibabadi outlined Iran’s legal view on attacks carried out by Israel and the United States against Iranian nuclear scientists and peaceful nuclear facilities, saying the country had been subjected to “two aggressions,” the first targeting its territorial integrity and the second aimed at its nuclear installations.

He described the latter as one of the most serious crimes that can be addressed from a legal perspective.

He stressed that the non-proliferation regime is fundamentally built on the principle of non-attack against nuclear facilities, adding that it is unprecedented in the history of the International Atomic Energy Agency for nuclear sites to be targeted militarily.

While other states’ installations have been inspected, he said, “the most important inspections conducted have been those in the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Any act against nuclear facilities — sabotage, coercive force, operations, or the killing and assassination of nuclear scientists — represents a threat to states’ nuclear activities and, more broadly, a threat to international peace and security,” he said.

All Iranian facilities attacked by Israel and the United States, he added, were under strict IAEA monitoring.

Gharibabadi noted that Iran has provided extensive cooperation with the Agency.

He cited remarks earlier in the day by Atomic Energy Organization chief Mohammad Eslami, who said Iran has undergone “wide and comprehensive verification” of its nuclear activities and that enrichment and facility-related issues remain fully under IAEA safeguards.
