The representative of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Kanaani, stated that Tehran will continue its peaceful nuclear program and constructive cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Kanaani made this statement in response to a joint statement by the United States and the Persian Gulf countries, which called Iran a “threat to peace in the region.”
Kanaani called such statements against Iran “often repeated” and “tiring”.
“Such statements correspond to the century-old strategy of the American regime to sow division between the countries of the region,” Kanaani said.
Referring to the accusations against Iran's nuclear activities, the speaker emphasized that the country will continue its program of peaceful nuclear energy use “despite the existing political pressures and propaganda slander campaigns.”
Kanaani noted that Tehran believes in regional diplomacy and strives to resolve regional crises through political solutions. After the meeting held in Riyadh a few days ago, the United States and the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council repeated the accusations against Iran in a joint statement.
The statement raised concerns over Iran's nuclear program and called on Tehran to fully cooperate with the IAEA.
