Iran’s nuclear chief says the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been taken captive by the Israeli regime and is being exploited following the anti-Tehran resolution at the agency’s board of governors meeting in Vienna this week.

Since September 2002 when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) actually became sensitive and started probe on Iran’s nuclear program, almost all chiefs of this UN body have acted as the pawns of the big powers especially the West and its lord Israeli regime, and they have entered the scene to increase pressure on the countries especially on the Islamic Republic of Iran in order to get some concessions or condemn those states.

A senior Iranian official has urged the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency to refrain from pursuing any political agenda in his work, stating that the Islamic Republic is strongly opposed to an anti-Iran resolution at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Reacting to the meeting of the IAEA Broad of Governors on Monday, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that Iran would respond to any action taken in the IAEA meeting.

Iran's permanent representative to the Vienna-based International Organizations says a latest report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the country’s stockpile of enriched uranium is one-sided and fails to reflect Iran's extensive cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is progressing with full speed in all spheres especially in the scientific, nuclear and Nano technologies and the knowledge-based companies are playing a great role in such achievements especially in the nuclear and Nano fields.

Abolfazl Amouei, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the parliament, has noted that Iran has repeatedly warned the IAEA to maintain its professional approach and “not be influenced by the Zionists’ claims.”

Head of Iran's nuclear energy organization has called for "nonpolitical cooperation" from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) after meeting the UN body's director general Rafael Grossi in Tehran.

With negotiators of Vienna talks returning to capitals for more consultations, talks of a potential Israeli attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities have intensified, with observers pondering over the consequences of such a move.

Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi said on Tuesday in Tehran he seeks common grounds to deepen mutual cooperation between the UN nuclear agency and Iran, days before the resumption of talks in the Austrian capital city of Vienna on the removal of the United States’ sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
