IAEA report disregards Iran’s close cooperation: envoy

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
TEHRAN- A recent assessment by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, according to Iran's
permanent representative to the Vienna-based International Organizations, is one-sided and fails to reflect Iran's considerable cooperation
with the UN nuclear watchdog.Mohammad Reza Ghaebi made the remarks on Monday after the IAEA assessed Iran's enriched uranium stockpile had
increased to more than 18 times the limit set based on the 2015 nuclear accord signed between Tehran and the 5+1 group.The 2015 nuclear
pact, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), set a maximum of 300 kg (660 pounds) of a certain chemical, which is
uranium to levels greater than the 3.67 percent limit set in the historic agreement.It seems that Grossi has ignored that fact that it was
Apparently, he is also oblivious of the fact that Iran remained fully loyal to its commitments even one year after Trump abandoned the

Monday, the IAEA claimed that it still had unanswered issues about previously undeclared nuclear material at three Iranian locations.Iran
has presented the explanation of the "act of sabotage by a third party to contaminate" the locations, according to the report, but no proof

framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and in accordance with legal compensatory measures in the law adopted by the Iranian
parliament following the suspension of Iran's nuclear obligations due to non-fulfillment of obligations by other parties, referring to the
officials not to reveal detailed information on the country's nuclear activities, citing the importance of the principle of confidentiality
in IAEA regulations, according to the senior diplomat, but the issue has not received serious attention from the IAEA.The report comes as
talks in Vienna, Austria, to resurrect the historic 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and global powers are still deadlocked.Mikhail Ulyanov,
Russia's senior negotiator at the Vienna negotiations, responded to the UN agency's reports being leaked to the media, saying that the
American diplomats are not allowed to participate in the negotiations since the U.S
illegally withdrew from the agreement.The U.S
has refused to repair previous wrongs, including removing Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) off its list of foreign terrorist
organizations as well as putting talks on pause since March.Iran asserts that the designation of the IRGC in 2019 was part of former
President Donald Trump's so-called "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran, and that it must be overturned immediately.The Joe Biden
administration disagrees, despite admitting several times that Trump's maximum pressure policy has been a disaster
