Iran-IAEA-Soltanieh
Iran's IAEA envoy Ali-Asghar Soltanieh said here Saturday that recent IAEA report made Americans' claim about isolating Iran 'absurd and baseless'.
Soltanieh told IRNA, "Iran has always had regular ties with the IAEA. The ties will continue if the watchdog body makes free decisions."
He said, "Iran is entitled to peaceful nuclear activities and while depriving the US of any pretext, Iran will not permit the IAEA to continue activities under pressure."
As for recent IAEA meeting, Soltanieh said that equality of all countries at the negotiation table is among Iran's standards for holding talks with other countries.
"The IAEA has in its recent report once again vouched Iran's righteousness, approving all 30 projects of Iran," he added.
Soltanieh said, "The US knows pretty well that the carrot and stick policy will have no place in Iranians' civilization and logic.
Only unconditional nuclear negotiations are acceptable for Iran." Iran's IAEA envoy along with a group of UN ambassadors arrived in Sistan-Baluchestan to inspect the sealing of borders.
He held talks with Iranian and foreign reporters on Tasuki border point.
