The Iranian authorities have affirmed this Monday that they will not reinstall the cameras of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) withdrawn in June until the 2015 nuclear agreement, damaged by the unilateral withdrawal of the United States in 2018, is reactivated.

“We will not activate the security cameras (withdrawn) until the other party returns to the nuclear agreement,” stressed the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Mohamed Eslami, as reported by the Iranian agency of Tasnim news.

He also stressed that “it is very important that the Iranian population and officials resort to their historical memory.” “For 20 years, Western countries have accused Iran of trying to build an atomic bomb. They say it every day,” he stressed.

“If we analyze history, we will see that they have brought Iran before the United Nations Security Council on several occasions and have issued resolutions against us,” he criticized, while adding that Tehran has participated in negotiations that led to the agreement. nuclear 2015.

In this sense, he regretted that “Westerns are repeating the same accusations of the past” and recalled that “Iran accepted restrictions to limit the enrichment activities of Ukrainian and reduce its capacities and speed of movement (of the centrifuges) to generate confidence “.

“Westerners have not adhered to these restrictions,” he pointed out, before emphasizing that the cameras were installed to “clarify the accusations” and that “if the accusations are going to continue, there is no reason for the cameras to stay installed.”

“Iran has never kept its nuclear activities secret,” he said, before emphasizing that Tehran has maintained its cooperation with the IAEA. “All the structures of the Iranian atomic industry have coordinated with the agency and have been under its supervision,” she concluded.

The talks for the return of the United States to the agreement and for Iran to return to the respect of its commitments were reactivated on November 29 in Vienna, including recent indirect contacts between Tehran and Washington in Qatar, although they ended without progress.

Iran has announced the withdrawal of its commitments on several of the points of the agreement after the United States left the pact unilaterally in 2018, although the Iranian authorities have defended that these steps can be reversed if the United States withdraws the sanctions and returns to the agreement.
