Tehran: The Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the IAEA report is “political and unjustified.” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated that “the IAEA report on Iran’s nuclear activities is contradictory and does not address any deviations from Iran’s nuclear program.” He emphasized that the report is an attempt by the European Troika and the United States to justify referring the nuclear file to the Security Council.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Baghaei noted that “Iran has repeatedly affirmed that it does not seek nuclear weapons and has the Supreme Leader’s fatwa prohibiting them.” He warned that “if the IAEA Board of Governors issues a resolution against Iran, it will take a proportionate response.”

Baghaei pointed out that “France canceled a phone call today between the Iranian Foreign Minister and his counterparts in the European Troika,” stressing that “any proposal that does not guarantee the preservation of the nuclear fuel cycle in Iran and does not guarantee the lifting of sanctions will not be accepted.”

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) previously confirmed that “the actions of the West and the IAEA Board of Governors aim to activate the trigger mechanism and restore sanctions.” The AEOI stated that “Tehran has sought extensive cooperation with the IAEA, but Western countries are seeking to exploit this,” emphasizing that “there is no technical evidence to activate the trigger mechanism.”

US President Donald Trump announced that the sixth round of negotiations with Iran will take place on Thursday, while Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei announced that the next round of negotiations will be held next Sunday in the Omani capital, Muscat.

The first round of negotiations between Iran and the United States regarding the Iranian nuclear program began on April 12 in the Omani capital, Muscat. The Omani embassy in Rome hosted the second round of negotiations on April 19, and the third round was held again in Muscat on April 26.
