Iran announced Wednesday that it has removed two surveillance cameras installed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to oversee its nuclear activities, amid its conflict with Western countries and the United States.
Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency (AEOI) said in a statement without specifying where they are located that the two chambers “go beyond Iran’s commitments under the IAEA agreement”.
The organization added that the cameras were a “gesture of goodwill” that was not “appreciated” by the IAEA, but was considered a “must”.
The announcement comes after the United States and three European countries (the United Kingdom, France and Germany) that are part of the nuclear deal with Iran submitted a resolution to the IAEA in which they condemned Tehran for its lack of cooperation.
The decision will be analyzed at the UN body’s Board of Governors meeting, which began Monday and ends this Friday in Vienna.
The resolution calls on Iran to “cooperate” with the IAEA and focuses on the issue of enriched uranium residues found in three undeclared sites in the country, according to a report released by the agency in May.
“Iran has no covert nuclear activities or unreported locations. [por parte do Ocidente] “To maintain maximum pressure on the country,” OASI chief Mohammad Eslami said on Wednesday, quoted by the official IRNA agency.
Talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers were suspended in March when they appeared on the verge of reaching an agreement.
This deal would provide for the easing of sanctions on Iran in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear program to ensure Iran’s inability to develop nuclear weapons, an intention Tehran has always denied.
